- Add parchment to baking sheet (I just lined mine with foil).
- Unroll the dough, separate into triangles.
- Spread a small amount of jam onto dough, leave about 1/2" around the edge without jam to help the dough stick together.
- Starting with the wide end, roll the dough. Place the open end down on the parchment, shape into a crescent shape.
- Bake per package directions.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Mix glaze in small bowl. Go easy on the milk, it will come together quickly and you may only need a tablespoon or less. If it gets too thin add more powdered sugar.
- Drizzle over rolls.

Cheddar and Rosemary Canned Crescent Rolls
Just a quick idea today, these Cheddar and Rosemary Crescent Rolls are simply canned biscuits that I doctored up a bit. We had them with Chili for Sunday dinner, and they were a big hit! There really isn't a recipe, I laid the triangles of dough flat, sprinkled them with shredded cheese and minced fresh rosemary, rolled them up and baked per package instructions. It's just a fun way to make a simple crescent roll just a little fancier:@) I always buy white cheddar, but I think yellow would add a nice bit of color if you have it.

Pesto & Parmesan Crescent Roll Christmas Tree
- Cut parm into 3 equal pieces, save one for grating (I used the grated parm in the can). Cut the 2 other pieces into 16 cubes each. (Or use shredded Mozzarella, messy but good.)
- Unroll dough, form into 12 x 9" rectangle, pressing seams closed.
- Cut into 8 x 4 squares, 32 total, you can see it here.
- Create the layers of the tree...
- Wrap each square of dough around a cube of cheese. Pinch seam closed. Place seam side down onto cookie sheet (I lined mine with parchment paper). You'll make circles of dough, 10 pieces, 8 pieces, 6, 4, 3 and then 1 ball. Have the sides of the dough touching each other in their own groups/circle.
- Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Using a wide spatula, remove largest circle to plate, brush with pesto, sprinkle with a little parm. Keep building up the layers the same way.
- Add peppers for garnish if using.

Cherry Pie Cups - 2 Ingredient Canned Cinnamon Buns and Cherry Pie Filling
I was stopping over to Ma's one morning and told her I'd bring a munchie. We whipped up these Cherry Pie Cups using nothing more than a tube of store bought cinnamon buns (the ones you open by hitting on the counter), and can of cherry pie filling. Seriously easy and they can be made with any canned pie filling that goes well with cinnamon. We just fished 6 or so out of the jell for each danish/cupcake. Plan on about 15 minutes prep time, 13-15 minutes baking time and at least 15 minutes resting time so the icing doesn't totally melt from the heat. Ma's quote after the first bite "wow, that's better than I expected" :@)
- Spray 8 regular size muffin cups with cooking spray, I used Aldi's brand of Baker's Joy-love that brand!
- Pop open tube of cinnamon rolls (the ones that need to be baked) Press one muffin into and up the sides of each cup.
- Spoon cherry pie filling into each muffin. I fished 6-7 cherries out of the gel for each one.
- Bake at 400 degrees 14-18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 5 minutes.
- Remove muffins from pan, allow to cool 10 minutes longer. Drizzle icing over muffins.

Saturday ReView: Two Ingredient Apple Pie Cups and Recycled Can Barbie Storage
As summer begins to come to an end my thoughts turn to football season and baking! These Two Ingredient Apple Pie Cups couldn't be easier and they are a nice project that kids can help make too. They simply call for a can of cinnamon rolls and a can of pie filling. While I haven't tried it, I'm sure you could also use peach pie filling. So don't hesitate to whip some up if you have a little extra time one weekend morning:@)
And I love this idea for using Recycled Spaghetti Sauce Cans for Barbie Storage! The cans are tall enough that the dolls can stand upright, helping to keep their hair neater. They can be decorated with anything desired, girls can even do that themselves.
Directions:
1. Peel label off of cans, wash well and dry.
2. Cover in decorative paper.
3. Tie cans together with ribbon and make a pretty bow.
4. Done😎
after I pulled the labels of off the cans and washed them I noticed this😊

Two Ingredient Apple Pie Cups
Here they are out of the oven and after cooling for 10-15 minutes, I iced the ones on the left. I wanted to show this so you could see that the apples stay warm longer than the biscuits, so the icing kinda melted on the apples. You may want to let them cool a little longer for prettier presentation.
Tip: Please forgive me Pillsbury... I bought the Walmart brand of cinnamon rolls and the icing came in a plastic bag that already had a little point so that if you cut the point off you can easily drizzle the icing over the muffins.
- Spray 8 regular size muffin cups with cooking spray, I used Aldi's brand of Baker's Joy-love that brand!
- Press one muffin into and up the sides of each cup.
- Spoon 2 Tblsp apple pie filling into each muffin. I brushed some of the gel off and diced the apples up a bit, then just filled the cups.
- Bake at 400 degrees (or recommended temperature on biscuit package) 14-18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 5 minutes.
- Remove muffins from pan, allow to cool a little longer. Heat icing if it's not a drizzling consistency. Drizzle icing over muffins.
