Irresistible Mini Apple Pie Crescents with Vanilla Ice Cream

Ingredients

- 1 package refrigerated pie crust (2 crusts)
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
- 1 21-ounce can apple pie filling
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 375°F and allow it to preheat while you prepare the crescents.

2. Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the apple pie filling with the lemon juice. Stir to incorporate the flavors evenly.

3. Roll and Cut the Crust:
- Unroll one pie crust onto a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to smooth it out slightly.
- Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the crust into 8 equal triangle-shaped pieces.

4. Fill and Form Crescents:
- Place about 1 tablespoon of the apple pie filling at the wider end of each triangle.
- Carefully roll from the wide end to the point, enclosing the filling. Curve ends inward to form a crescent shape.

5. Egg Wash:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water.
- Brush each crescent with the egg wash using a pastry brush. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar generously over the top of the crescents.

6. Bake:
- Arrange the crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, keeping them spaced apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and the crust is firm.

7. Serve:
- Remove from oven and allow crescents to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream on the side.
