  • Make the caramel crunch: Line a rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons water; mixture should look like wet sand. Place saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until sugar is dark amber in color. Immediately pour caramel onto prepared baking sheet; let cool completely.
  • Crack cooled caramel into large pieces and place in a resealable plastic bag. Crush into tiny pieces using a rolling pin; you should have a scant 1/2 cup of caramel crunch.

Time 55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups chopped peeled apples (about 4 large apples)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 oz cream cheese, softened (from 8-oz package)
2 cans (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Sweet Hawaiian Crescent Rolls (8 Count)
3 tablespoons caramel topping
2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
  • In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook apples, 1/4 cup of the brown sugar and the cinnamon over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed 30 to 60 seconds or until smooth and creamy.
  • Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 16 triangles. On cookie sheet, arrange triangles in ring so short sides of triangles form 6-inch circle in center. Dough will overlap. Dough ring should look like the sun.
  • Spread cream cheese mixture on triangles. Spoon apple mixture evenly over cream cheese on the half of each triangle closest to center of ring.
  • Bring each dough triangle up over apple mixture, tucking dough under bottom of dough to secure it. Repeat around ring until entire filling is enclosed (some filling might show a little).
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and dough is thoroughly baked. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Drizzle with caramel topping and pecans.
