Mini Blueberry Apple Crisps


As I've mentioned here, I'm not a fruit kind of gal. Again - love the taste, hate the textures. This complex I have is tenfold when said fruit is warm. Gross. HOWEVER, I really wanted to give it another shot. This recipe is super simple & fairly quick. And if you don't have kids... it will be even quicker. :)
 
So with Maxx in tow & using stuff we just had around this joint, this is what I've come up with!

INGREDIENTS
Makes 8 servings

1 - 8oz can of Pillsbury crescent rolls
1 cup apples - peeled, cored & cut into small chunks (about 1-2 small apples)
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup quick oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp maple syrup

 DIRECTIONS

1} Preheat oven to 350 degress F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper & set aside.
 


 2} Using a cutting board- peel, core, & cut apples into small chunks. If the skin is your thing, by all means keep it on. Place apples in mixing bowl & add the blueberries, sugar, cinnamon & lemon juice. Mix it up until fruit is evenly coated.




3} In a separate mixing bowl, mix the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, melted butter & the maple syrup.
 



4} On a plate or cutting board, take apart the crescent rolls. Lay each one out flat & spoon the blueberry/apple filling onto it. Slowly roll up the crescent. This will get a bit messy & that's just fine. No need for perfection! Place each roll onto the cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
 



5} Using a mini spatula (spoon or knife works OK too), carefully spread the oat topping onto each roll, as shown above. 

6} Place into oven on center rack & bake for 27-30 minutes or until golden brown & top is crisp. Keep an eye out.




7} Remove from oven & immediately transfer to a wire cooling rack.





8} Enjoy! You can serve while warm or room temp is tasty too! Also, we don't currently have any, but served with vanilla ice cream would be amazing. As for us, we stuck with some whipped cream. :)


We're BIG fans.. even me!
