To make the apple, cranberry and almond twist recipe, you will need 2 cups of diced apples, 1 cup of dried cranberries, ½ cup of chopped almonds, 1 tube of refrigerated crescent rolls, ¼ cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 egg. Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the diced apples, dried cranberries, and chopped almonds. In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the parchment paper and press the perforations to seal them. Sprinkle the dough with the sugar and cinnamon mixture, then spread the apple, cranberry, and almond mixture over the dough. Roll the dough up and tuck the ends under to create a twist shape. Brush the beaten egg over the dough and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before serving.
Yes, you can use fresh cranberries instead of dried in this recipe. However, you may want to slightly cook the fresh cranberries before adding them to the apple and almond mixture to soften them and release some of their juices. This will prevent the twist from being too tart or crunchy.
