Ingredients
Scale
Crumb Mixture
- 1/4 cup cold butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Dash of salt
- 1/2 cup flour
Main Dough
- 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (8 triangles)
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp softened butter
- 1-1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the crescent rolls to a golden, flaky texture.
- Make Crumb Mixture: In a bowl, cut the cold butter into the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and flour using a pastry cutter or fork, until the mixture becomes crumbly and well combined. This will create a sweet and buttery topping.
- Prepare Crescent Rolls: Separate the crescent rolls into 8 individual triangles and arrange them on an ungreased cookie sheet evenly spaced. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over each triangle, making sure to cover the dough with the cinnamon-sugar topping.
- Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown on top and edges.
- Make Glaze: While the pizza is baking, combine the powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the thickness by adding more powdered sugar if needed.
- Drizzle and Serve: Once the cinnamon-sugar pizza is baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the prepared glaze over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature as a sweet snack or dessert.
Notes
- For extra texture, you can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the crumb mixture.
- Use cold butter in the crumb mixture for best crumbly texture.
- If crescent rolls are not available, puff pastry sheets can be a good substitute.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheat briefly in the oven to restore crispiness before serving.
