Instructions
- Preheat oven – Set to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Prepare dough – Unroll crescent roll dough and press seams together to form a rectangle (or spread into a round pizza shape if preferred).
- Butter & sugar coat – Brush melted butter evenly over dough. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle generously over the buttered surface.
- Bake – Place in oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

- Drizzle & serve – Remove baked crescent base from oven, let cool slightly, then drizzle icing over top. Slice into squares or wedges and enjoy warm!
- Apple pie twist – Add thinly sliced apples on top before baking.
- Nutty crunch – Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts with the cinnamon sugar.
- Chocolate drizzle – Swap icing for melted chocolate or Nutella.
