Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Unroll crescent roll dough and place in bottom of 9x13 baker. Lightly sprinkle with flour. Roll dough with a roller until perforations are sealed and dough is flat. Peel, core and slice apples with the Apple Peeler/Corer/Slicer. Cut in quarters. Combine sugar and spices in a bowl. Add apples and toss lightly. Place apple mixture down center of dough, approximately 2-inches wide. Cut 10 slits, about 3/4-inch wide on each long side of dough surrounding apple mixture. To raid, fold strips of dough at an angle across apple mixture alternating dough strips from one side to the other. Fold ends over to seal. Melt butter in a microwave saucepan just until it liquifies; do not boil. Brush with melted butter. Bake 30 minutes. Cut and serve warm.
To make glaze- combine powdered sugar and mil. Stir until smooth. Pour over warm braid.
