Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 (8 oz) can crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Firstly, preheat your oven to 375º F.
- Then, in a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally and reduce heat to low. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until mixture thickens. Set aside and let it cool.
- Next, in a medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream, and unsalted butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
- After that, beat the egg in a small mixing bowl. Add milk and whisk until well combined.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough, and place it on a lightly floured surface. Pinch the seams together to form a single sheet of dough. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 9-12 squares.
- Now, place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square. Then, spoon a little of the sugarplum mixture over each dollop of cream cheese.
- Brush the edges of each dough square with the egg wash mixture. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together to seal the pastry.
- Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
- Let the pastries cool down and then serve immediately.
