Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough and separate the triangles. Arrange them in a circle on a baking sheet, pointed ends outwards, overlapping slightly.
Step 2: Cream Cheese Filling
In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth.
Step 3: Assemble the Ring
Spoon the cream cheese mixture onto the wide ends of the crescent dough, creating a ring. Top with the apple slices.
Step 4: Bake & Drizzle
Fold the pointed ends over the filling, tucking them under. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Drizzle generously with caramel sauce once cooled slightly.
