Crescent Cinnamon Apple Turnovers

As all of you know by now, I am all about easy recipes that taste like they took forever to make. This recipe accomplishes these two tasks easily. I made these last year for Thanksgiving and everyone could not stop talking about them! They are the perfect dessert for the holidays because of the apples and the cinnamon. Here are the few ingredients that you are going to need to make this holiday-filled dessert:

  • two cans of crescent rolls
  • two granny smith apples
  • two sticks of butter
  • one-fourth cup of sugar
  • two tablespoons of cinnamon
After you have all of these ingredients together, here are the steps that you need to take to start this recipe:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Peel and core the granny smith apples, then cut each apple into eight slices.
  3. Then, in a saucepan, melt the butter then whisk in the sugar and the cinnamon.
  4. Once the butter mixture is melted, roll the apple slices in the crescent rolls.
  5. Then, spoon the butter mixture over each crescent roll.
  6. Halfway through the baking process, open the oven and spoon the butter in the pan over the crescent rolls.
  7. Bake until the crescent rolls are browned and the apples are tender.
  8. Once they are done, pull them out of the oven and let them cool for about five minutes and then serve.
I love this recipe for any occasion and it is super easy and perfect for a big crowd! I hope you enjoy this recipe and be sure to try it for the holidays.

Oreo Balls

Now that Halloween is over, the holidays have been fully activated to the point where everything is Christmas tree and turkey overload! With that being said, during the holidays, we all know that there are always thousands of Christmas parties, thanksgiving festivities, etc. happening from November 1st - December 25th. This week I am going to enlighten you on quick and easy finger food destined to be for parties of tons of people. Here are the ingredients that you will need:


Steps to take to make these delectable cookie balls:

  1. Crush up forty-five of the Oreo cookies.
  2. Then mix in the cream cheese until it is thoroughly mixed together.
  3. Once that is done, roll the mixture into one-inch balls and place on a plate or cookie sheet.
  4. In two separate pots, melt the chocolate in one and the white chocolate in the other pot. 
  5. Once the chocolate is melted, roll the balls into either the milk chocolate or the white chocolate.
  6. Then, if you rolled the balls in the milk chocolate, drizzle white chocolate over them and vice versa.
  7. Once you have done this, place them in the refrigerator for about an hour to two hours until the chocolate has hardened.
Like I said earlier, these Oreo balls are perfect for any occasion! One thing that I like to do for Christmas is to take the white chocolate and divide it up and put red food coloring in half and green food coloring in the other half. This way, you incorporate the Christmas spirit within your sweet and easy dessert for your guests. It is never a bad choice to take these to an event. They are good for a dessert or to just pair with other finger foods. I promise your guests will be talking about these for years and years to come. So I hope you are ready for them to be begging you to make these year after year, because they are going to love them that much!
