Apple Pie Cheesecake Crescent Muffins
These muffins are a twist on my Cherry Cheesecake Muffins. That recipe was so delicious so I couldn’t resist trying with a different flavor of filling. Fall baking season is just around the corner, therefore I wanted to try the apple pie version.
When it comes to fall baking a warm aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves with sweet apples is always my first choice.
However, I have shared a few recipes with apples lately. Actually, these are all combo of cheesecake and apple pie filling. If you like this combo as much as I do, check these Apple Pie Cheesecake Cookies and Apple Pie Cheesecake, too.
How To Make Apple Pie Crescent Muffins
This recipe is really quick and easy. It uses refrigerated crescent rolls. You can use the crescent roll dough seamless sheets. It makes this just a bit easier to put together since you won’t have to seal the perforation. Just cut 8 squares and add the filling.
If you use crescent rolls, separate the dough into 4 rectangles, seal the perforation and cut each rectangle in half.
To make the cheesecake filling just mix softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla. Drop a heaping Tablespoon of filling in the center, then add about 1 Tablespoon of chopped apples.
Pick up the corner of the dough and pinch them together. Seal all sides and roll it gently between your palms to make the ball.
Brush generously with melted butter, roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and place in a pan. After half an hour your muffins are ready for serving.
Enjoy!

Can you make with alternate fillings? Chocolate, cinnamon, strawberries, etc.
I don’t understand chopped apples from apple pie filling?
Use apples from apple pie filling (discard the liquid), and chop apple slices in small pieces.
