At Christmas I shape the dough into a wreath for a more festive look. You can also substitute peach or apricot jam.

How To Make almond raspberry crescent rolls

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 375.
  • Step 2
    Unroll crescent rolls and separate.
  • Step 3
    Place 1 teaspoon of jam and approximately 1 teaspoon of almond paste in center of large end and roll up. Be careful that the filling is contained. The almond paste I get is in a roll so I slice a thin slice. If in a can, crumble or flatten it out.
  • Step 4
    Place on ungreased baking sheet.
  • Step 5
    Mix together the melted butter and almonds and top the rolls with it.
  • Step 6
    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden.
  • Step 7
    Remove to a rack to cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • Step 8
    Alternate topping - Try drizzling with icing - 1/2 c powdered sugar, dash almond extract, stir in milk by teaspoon until drizzling consistency.
