This recipe comes from the cookbook included in my super fun giveaway. (it's possible that your definition of "super fun" may be a little different from mine, I lead a somewhat mundane life)
I modified the recipe a bit to try to make it a bit more calorie conscious. I've gained a few pounds back and need to try to reign it in a bit.
That reminds me...have you seen this cool thing at Spark Recipes? It's a recipe calculator where you can input all the ingredients from your recipe and it gives you the nutrition info per serving. I think this could come in pretty handy!
(according to their calculator, these have about 125 calories each after my substitutions)
In my opinion, these were delicious, the sauce was just right, and my house smelled like I'd been making apple pie all day!
Here is the original recipe, with my changes in parentheses. Also this makes 8 crescents, and I halved everything to just make 4.
Ingredients:
1 eight oz can refrigerated crescent rolls (used reduced fat)
2 granny smith apples, peeled and quartered
2 granny smith apples, peeled and quartered
1 cup orange juice
1 1/4 cups sugar (used splenda)
1/2 cup butter (used butter buds dissolved in 1/4 cup water)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
Unroll crescents and separate. Wrap each apple quarter with crescent. (I sprinkled cinnamon on each apple quarter before wrapping it) Place each apple in sprayed 9x13 inch baking dish.
Combine orange juice, sugar, butter, and cinnamon in saucepan and bring to boil.
Pour over crescents and bake 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Thanks for helping me celebrate my SITS day today!!
What scrumptious little treats! Only 125 calories? That's great. I can have two!
All my treats should be low calorie. These look perfect.

Crescent rolls make recipes so much quicker. This looks delicious! I'll take mine with a dollop of vanilla ice cream! :P
These apple crescents looks so delicious and not overly sweet. Crescent rolls are such a time saver when we need a quick and tasty dessert.
oh forget about the calories lol They look so good I'll gladly have all 4!
What a great recipe! Apple desserts are always wonderful.
I LOVE that you have a quote from Kai-Lan here. Totally had me busting up laughing.
Oh, and as for this post? Y-U-M! I love it. Anything that makes my house smell like I have been baking all day is a good thing. :)

Wow, I've never tried anything like this before.
Thanks for the modifications. I'm dieting too and all calories saved are welcomed!
YUM!!! I love it when my house smells like apple pie!
what a nice little treat
These look like little bites of apple pie-ish heaven! I can't believe they are so low cal!
My dad would love those! And it's pastry so of course I'm game. Awesome.
These looks delicious. I'm just making a Thursday grocery list and am going to put the ingredients on for a weekend treat. Thanks so much for the recipe. I'm now off to check out your spinach lasagna rolls.
Best,

Yum and cute crescents!
This look wonderful! Love apple pie-like dishes and the fact that they are low cal is even better!
yes, i can appreciate the fact that you made these a little less sinful, but i'd throw all that to the wind with the ample ice cream i'd add. :)
125 calories is really great for a sweet treat...i bet you only need one. thanks for the great idea!
LOL....it does look like it has a mouth.
I make something similar ... It stuff mine with whatever. Sometimes they're sweet and sometimes savory. So easy so good.
