Easy Crescent Roll Pie Crust

We’re going semi-homemade today with this easy apple pie! If you need a last-minute dessert or just a quick dessert to satisfy a fruit pie craving, you will LOVE the pie crust hack I’m sharing today.

If you’ve ever wondered, “can you use crescent rolls for apple pie?” I am happy to report that a Pillsbury apple pie is so good. It’s my favorite dough shortcut for all kinds of things when there’s just no time to make from-scratch dough.

It’s not flaky like a pastry crust but soft and fluffy, so your pie almost tastes like a Apple Strudel – especially if you add the easy icing on top. In my book, that qualifies this apple pie as a breakfast treat or dinner dessert. It pulls double-duty.

Ingredients in Pillsbury Apple Pie

Refrigerated crescent rolls: Get 2 cans (16 total rolls), use any brand.
Canned apple pie filling: Or use my homemade apple pie filling recipe!
Powdered sugar: For the drizzle on top
Heavy whipping cream: You can also use milk or nondairy milk, but it will be thinner.

How to use Crescent Rolls for Pie Crust

Remove the dough from one can of crescent rolls. Unroll the dough and place the whole piece in the bottom of the pie plate. Press the seams together, so the dough is sealed.
Spoon the apple pie filling on top of the dough.
Unroll the second can of crescent dough and lay it flat on your work surface. Press the seams together to seal them, then lay the dough piece on top of the pie filling. Tuck the edges of the dough, so they meet the edges of the dough on the bottom of the pie.
Bake the pie at 350°F until the top crust is golden brown and the bottom crust is completely baked. Allow the apple pie to cool completely.
For the icing, whisk the powdered sugar and heavy cream in a small bowl. Drizzle it over the cooled pie.

Variations

You can make my favorite apple pie filling for this recipe – just use half a batch.
Not a fan of apple pie? Use your favorite fruit pie filling for this recipe. You can use blueberry pie filling, cherry pie filling, peach, lemon or strawberry pie filling.
Instead of whipping cream in the icing, use the same amount of apple cider. It will be more like a glaze but will give your pie even more apple flavor.
