Crescent Apple Pie

2 tubes (8 oz.) crescent rolls
3/4 cup of melted butter
3 Granny Smith apples
1 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1 cup Sprite

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Peel, core and slice apples into 6 wedges each (total of 18 wedges).  Roll each wedge into 1 crescent each.  Place in 9 x 13 x 2 baking dish.  Mix melted butter, sugar and cinnamon.  Spoon over crescents.  Pour Sprite along edges of dish but not over the crescents.  You want the cinnamon sugar to stay on top of the crescents and not washed off.  Bake 35-40 minutes or until browned and crescents bottoms are done. 

Comment:  If you make this dish just once, you'll never make nor buy another apple pie again!  This is simple, pretty, and soooooo delicious.  Imagine what it would taste topped with ice cream while still good and hot.  You can also make this with peaches - 4 large, or maybe even pears.  You and your guests won't be able to get enough of this one.

Crescent Grinders

1 Tbsp. olive oil
½ cup red and/or green bell peppers, sliced
½ cup red or yellow onion, sliced
6 Steak-Ums broken into pieces about 1” square
Cheddar Cheese
1 roll (8 count) crescent rolls

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a frying pan heat olive oil.  Add bell peppers and onions.  Saute until limp.  Add steak-ums.  Saute over med. high heat until steak-ums are cook throughout (about 2-3 minutes).  Line a sheet pan with foil sprayed with non-stick spray.  Open crescents and lay out on foil.  Sprinkle heavy with cheese.  Evenly top with meat mixture.  Roll up.  Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crescents are done and lightly browned.

Comments:  These are simply delicious!  I used a mixture of the red and green peppers.  I found these in Walmart in the freezer section already sliced with the onions already added.  I used about 1 cup of this combination.  The steak-ums work great, but you can also use thin sliced roast beef from the deli or lunch meat dept.  For my cheese I used a Colby-Cheddar Shredded Mixture and put it on heavy.  When adding the meat mixture, you want to pile it on.  When you roll the crescents, it will probably only have one overlap of the crescent point.  Some of the mixture may fall out, just push it back in.  I served mine with a choice of mayo, mustard and/or ranch dressing.
