Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza crust or crescent roll dough
- 1 cup fresh apple cider (reduced to 1/4 cup)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider (reserved for glaze)
Instructions
- Step 1: Reduce the Apple Cider: Place 1 cup of apple cider in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until the liquid has reduced to about 1/4 cup. This concentrates the flavor. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Step 2: Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of the reduced apple cider. Stir until it forms a smooth, spreadable paste.
- Step 3: Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll your dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a large rectangle of even thickness.
- Step 4: Spread and Fold: Spread the cinnamon-cider mixture over the bottom half of the dough rectangle. Fold the top half over the bottom half to cover the filling, pressing the edges slightly to seal.
- Step 5: Cut and Twist: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into 12 even strips. Take each strip and twist it several times before placing it on the prepared baking sheet. Press the ends down to prevent them from uncurling.
- Step 6: Bake to Perfection: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
- Step 7: Glaze and Serve: Whisk together the powdered sugar and the remaining tablespoon of apple cider until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm twists and serve immediately.
