Notes

Tips and Variations
  • Crescent Roll Alternatives: If you prefer, you can use puff pastry instead of crescent rolls. Puff pastry gives the dish a flakier texture. You can also make crescent rolls from scratch!
  • To Glaze or Not to Glaze: The glaze can be omitted, if desired.
  • Cream Cheese Frosting: If you want a thicker cream cheese frosting, mix together 2 oz softened cream cheese, ¼ cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste, ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
