Derek Anderson once told me his mother told him to make Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. He was visiting-- when I lived in Bowie and I asked him what he wanted to eat. He wanted to buy those rolls. Every time I see a can of those rolls, I think of Derek...

Me? I love their cinnamon rolls. That said- there were two cans of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls left over from Thanksgiving. I used the brown and serve brand I like for Thanksgiving, however I saw a commercial where a mother and daughter were making recipes with the Crescent rolls-- so I thought I would try one of my own.

I purchased two Gala apples, peeled, cored and diced them into tiny cubes then sauteed them in butter, brown & white sugar, a little cinnamon and corn starch. The concoction was perfect.

I then used the two cans of rolls to make these:

I wish I could tell you this recipe was good. The pastry I had just out of the oven-- was good. I put a dollop of whip cream on top and though I thought it was a little too much roll-- it was edible.

Later, I tried another and decided not to make this again. I recommend fillo dough for this recipe. I think the television ad used a pizza recipe using crescent rolls.
