Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans 8 oz each refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  4. Brush each triangle with melted butter and sprinkle with a little of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  5. Fold each triangle in half lengthwise to create a smaller triangle.
  6. Twist each triangle several times to create a spiral shape and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush the tops with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

  • For a fun variation, try adding a drizzle of icing made from powdered sugar and milk on top after baking.
  • You can also experiment with different spices, such as nutmeg or cardamom, mixed into the sugar for a unique flavor twist.
