Cinnamony apples are wrapped in a tender pastry to create a crispy delicacy. The flavor reminds me of apple crisp.—Betty Lawton, Pennington, New Jersey

Apple Crisp Crescents Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + chilling Bake: 20 min./batch

Yield: 36 Servings

30 20 50

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold butter
1 egg, separated
2/3 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup finely chopped peeled tart apple
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup raisins, chopped
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk, sour cream and vanilla; add to crumb mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Divide dough into thirds. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 10-in. circle. Combine the apple, walnuts, raisins, sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle 1/2 cup over each circle. Cut each circle into 12 wedges.
Roll up each wedge from the wide end and place point side down 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Curve ends to form crescents. Whisk egg white until foamy; brush over crescents.
Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 3 dozen.
