King Cake Crescent Rolls
2 Cans Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
1 8oz package Cream Cheese
2/3 cup powdered sugar

teaspoon or more of cinnamon.

Arrange crescent rolls in a circle on the surface of a round pan with the points of the
dough to the outside. Press the dough in the bottom of the pan together, and cut a circle
out in the middle of the pan to form a ring. (Note, dough should form about a 12 inch
circle when finished.)
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Spread the mixture evenly over
the dough - don't cover the circle in the middle. Thinly slice and peel apple, the place
apple slices over the cream cheese mixture and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Chop pecans and sprinkle over the apples.
Pull points of dough over filling and tuck under dough in center of the ring.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.
For glaze, mix about 1/2 - 3/4 cup of powdered sugar with a small amount of water to form
a thick mixture. Pour the glaze over the cake and sprinkle with colored sugar.
Make colored sugar by mixing 6-8 drops of green food coloring with 1/3 cup of granular
sugar, 6-8 drops of yellow food coloring with 1/3 cup sugar, and 4-6 drops of red and 4-6
drops of blue food coloring to 1/3 cup of sugar for purple sugar.
