These cranberry crescent rolls couldn’t be easier to make. I cheat a bit and use the store-bought canned crescent rolls and stuff them with the cranberry sauce. These make a flavorful side dish to any holiday meal.
This homemade cranberry sauce is so much better than store bought. And, it’s what makes these crescents special. You could substitute with a jarred cranberry sauce if you’re in a hurry.
Put a dolup (about a tablespoon) of the cranberry sauce on each rolled out crescent pastry.
Then roll the pastry up like you normally would based on the package instructions. Just tuck the end corner under.
Bake and you can drizzle some glaze on top if you want a sweet touch. Just add a little milk to some powdered sugar to make the glaze. These cranberry crescent rolls make a great holiday side dish. You can make the cranberry sauce ahead of time, then just assemble and bake the day of your dinner.
