Ingredients

1 - 8 oz pk cream cheese, softened

1/3 c powdered sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup pecans, chopped

2 pkgs. refrigerated crescent rolls

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

1 T sugar

1/2 t cinnamon

1 T maple-flavored syrup

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a bowl, combine cream cheese and powdered sugar until well blended.

Add egg mixing until smooth.

Unroll 1 pkg. of crescent dough; do not separate.

Arrange longest sides of dough across width of 12" x 15" rectangle baking stone.

Repeat with remaining pkg. of dough.

Roll dough to seal perforations.

On longest sides of baking stone, cut dough into strips 1-1/2 inches apart, 3 inches deep using pizza cutter (there will be 6 inches in the center for the filling).

Spread half of cream cheese mixture evenly over middle of dough. Peel, core and slice apples.

Cut slices crosswise in half; evenly arrange apple slices over cream cheese mixture.

Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over apples.

Scoop remaining cream cheese mixture over apples; sprinkle with pecans.

To braid, lift strips of dough across mixture to meet in center, twisting each strip one turn.

Continue alternating strips to form a braid. Tuck ends under to seal at end of braid.

Bake 25-28 minutes or until deep golden brown.

Remove from oven; brush with syrup using pastry brush.

Cut & serve.
