Easy Apple Dumplings - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

Preparation

Unroll crescent rolls and separate at perforations.
For each portion, fold and flatten the pastry with your fingers to form a 3 1/2 to 4 inch square.

Sprinkle cinnamon over top.
Bake in preheated 350 degree (Fahrenheit) oven for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and apples are tender.
