Apple Cream Cheese Monkey Breads Recipe

Ingredients

1/4

cup sugar

1

teaspoon ground cinnamon

3

oz cream cheese, softened

1 1/2

teaspoons milk

1

                        can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)

3/4

cup canned apple pie filling, chopped

Preparation

Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 8 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.

In small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of the sugar and the cinnamon; set aside. In another small bowl, mix cream cheese, remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and the milk.

Unroll crescent dough onto work surface; press perforations to seal. Cut dough into 8 squares. Cut each of the 8 squares into 5 rows by 4 rows to make 20 mini squares each.

Add 20 squares of crescent dough to bottoms and halfway up sides of muffin cups.

Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon-sugar on top of crescent dough in each. Layer with about 2 teaspoons cream cheese mixture, a rounded tablespoon of pie filling, and top with another 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Bake 16 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan. Serve warm.
