ingredients
- 8 Johnsonville Vermont Maple Syrup Breakfast Sausage Links
- 1 pkg crescent roll dough should contain 8 rolls
- 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter divided
- maple syrup for dipping
instructions
-
In a skillet over medium-low heat, cook Johnsonville Vermont Maple Syrup Breakfast Sausage Links until outsides are browned, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer cooked sausage to a plate to cool until easy to handle (about 10-15 minutes).
-
While sausage cools, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add brown sugar and ground cinnamon to a small bowl and mix together with a fork. Finally, prepare a baking large sheet by covering it with parchment paper (for easy cleanup). Set both the bowl with the mixed sugar and the baking sheet nearby.
-
Crack open crescent roll tin and roll out one piece of crescent dough on a flat surface. Using a butter knife, spread about 1/2 - 1 tablespoon butter on the inside of the crescent roll. Generously sprinkle cinnamon sugar mix on top of the butter. Place the cooked & cooled sausage near the wider end of the crescent dough, then roll the sausage up in the dough. Place wrapped sausage on prepared baking sheet. Repeat this step until all sausages are wrapped.
-
Melt any remaining butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds, the brush on top of finished crescent rolls. Sprinkle any leftover cinnamon sugar on top.
-
Bake cinnamon roll wrapped sausages in the oven for about 12-14 minutes or until tops begin to turn golden brown. Once cooked, transfer wrapped sausages to a plate lined with a paper towel. Serve immediately.
