Excellent recipe, and easy. I substituted Splenda for most of the sugar, altho I drizzled some confectioners sugar mixed with water over the tops after baking. Everyone loved these - especially when warm! - Kathy

I really didn't do a good job with this recipe - the crescents didn't puff out, I might have used the wrong pan ... I didn't even let my boyfriend eat it. But I think it's a good recipe in theory. :)

I made the Apple Pinwheels recipe for our overnight guests. The pinwheels were not only delicious but very pretty for our breakfast dessert. A great way to use some of our bountiful apple crop. Betty D.

I had trouble keeping them together, too. As a result, they looked like hell...but tasted great!

I made the Apple Pinwheels. One problem with the cressent rolls though, they kept coming apart. Eventually I got them to stay together. However, the pinwheels were delicious. Joyce
