Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 package crescent rolls
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

Optional Glaze

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp water


Instructions

  1. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to make the cinnamon sugar blend that will coat the rollups.
  2. Assemble Rollups: Separate the crescent roll dough into individual triangles. Carefully wrap each piece around a clean skewer, ensuring it is evenly covered without tearing the dough.
  3. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Roll each skewered crescent dough generously in the cinnamon sugar mixture, covering all exposed dough surfaces to add a sweet and spicy crust.
  4. Cook over Campfire: Hold or place the skewers over an open campfire, cooking for about 5 minutes. Rotate the rollups frequently to achieve an even golden-brown crispness while ensuring the dough is fully cooked inside.
  5. Optional Glaze: For an extra touch of sweetness, mix 1/4 cup powdered sugar with 2 to 3 tablespoons water to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rollups just before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the campfire has medium heat to avoid burning the dough before it cooks through.
  • Use metal or treated wooden skewers safe for cooking.
  • Feel free to experiment by adding cream cheese or fruit preserves inside the crescent roll before wrapping.
  • For a crispier texture, allow the rollups to cool slightly after cooking.
  • The optional glaze adds sweetness but can be omitted for a lighter dessert.
