We Made Room For Dessert 24 - Cinnamon Crescent Rolls

We made room for dessert this week with this super simple take on a cinnamon roll.  You can have them for breakfast, dessert, or a snack!  I found the original recipe on Pinterest, check out the Pin HERE.  I modified the recipe to only make 4 (we are trying to practice moderation around our house), but you can easily double the recipe.

Cinnamon Crescent Rolls
Ingredients:

• 4 refrigerated crescent rolls
• 2 tbs butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375.  Mix together butter, cinnamon, and sugar.  Unroll and separate crescents.  Spread 1/4 of the mixture over each roll.  Roll up and bake for 10-15 minutes.  If you'd like and easy frosting, mix together 1/4 powdered sugar with 1 tbs milk and 1 tsp vanilla.  Drizzle over top when crescents have cooled for a few minutes.  Enjoy!

We Made Room For Dessert 13 - Apple Pie Cheesecake Bites

We made room to have dessert this week!  I am not much of a baker or dessert maker, but when I saw the recipe for these on Pinterest I knew even I could make these.  Plus they sounded deliciously decadent!  You can find the original recipe here, on Julie's Eats & Treats.  Find the my pin here.

Cheesecake, apple pie, yummy glaze... What's not to like?  Super easy, I modified the recipe a little for what I had on hand.  You can sub whatever pie filling is your favorite, and I had the idea as well that subbing Nutella for pie filling would be AMAZING.  The original glaze is just two ingredients (super simple), but I added cinnamon and vanilla as well to mine to amp up the flavor factor.

I had my bf and a girlfriend try it... They both loved it.  I think you will love it too!!!
