Ingredients
Scale
Crumb Mixture
- 1/4 cup cold butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Dash of salt
- 1/2 cup flour
Base
- 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (8 triangles)
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp softened butter
- 1-1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cinnamon-sugar pizza evenly.
- Make Crumb Mixture: In a bowl, cut the cold butter into the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it forms crumbly, coarse crumbs that will give a crisp topping.
- Prepare Crescent Rolls: Separate the Pillsbury crescent roll dough into 8 individual triangles and lay them out on an ungreased cookie sheet, forming the base of your cinnamon-sugar pizza.
- Apply Crumb Topping: Evenly sprinkle the crumb mixture over the crescent roll triangles, covering the surface to ensure every bite has a sweet and crunchy topping.
- Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-12 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the crumb topping is set and slightly caramelized.
- Make Glaze: While the pizza is baking, blend the powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with additional powdered sugar if needed for drizzling.
- Glaze and Serve: After baking, allow the cinnamon-sugar pizza to cool slightly, then drizzle the vanilla glaze over the top. Slice and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use cold butter for the crumb topping to create the best crumbly texture.
- Do not grease the cookie sheet to allow the crescent rolls to bake evenly and maintain a crisp bottom.
- Adjust the glaze thickness based on desired sweetness and drizzling ease.
- This recipe can be doubled easily for a larger crowd.
- Serve warm shortly after baking for optimal taste and texture.
