Cover with 2nd can of crescent rolls. Melt butter and mix with 1/2 cup of sugar and cinnamon. Pour over top. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes.

Wow, that sounds REALLY good, thanks for sharing. I am going to have to print this one out and save it.

Huh ... never occurred to me to use Pillsbury crescent rolls as pie crust. I'll have to try that.

Here's a dessert recipe my daughter received in Nutrition class. She's made it twice now and each time it's a big hit with family!

Thank you for the recipe. . . They turned out great!!! I've included them in the neighborhood gift goodie baskets this year.

Here's one for the times that one might want something sweet, but the pantry items
might be limited. But, watch out! Too many of these can end up on the hips due to the
use of REAL butter!

Scottish Shortbread

2 cups REAL butter
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 325°F. Cream butter and brown sugar. Add 3 - 3/4 cups flour and mix well.
Sprinkle the board with the remaining flour. Knead for 5 minutes, adding enough flour to form
a soft dough ball. Roll out into a square of 1/2" thickness. Cut dough into 1" x 3" strips. Prick
with a fork and place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 325°F for 20-25 minutes.
