People are going to show up to your house any minute and you don’t have a single thing to offer them to snack on. Ever been there? Cookies are usually my go to quick treat, but I didn’t have time to wait for my butter to come to room temperature (and I really hate softening butter in the microwave!). So I started looking around to see what I had around…and was really coming up empty handed.
Then I remembered I had pie dough in the fridge. Score! Maybe I could throw together some quick hand pies? But then I realized I had eaten the last of the fresh strawberries. Unless someone wanted an eggplant hand pie, I was out of luck. Then I thought of the holy grail — Nutella.
Nutella & Pie Crust = Heaven. I realized I only had one 9 inch pie crust — so hand pies were out. {P.S. I was totally depressed not to get to use my adorable little hand pie molds. So now I added hand pies and empanadas to my menu for next week — yay for multi-use tools!} Instead I whipped out my pizza wheel cutter and went to town cutting my pie crust into long triangles.
I slathered each triangle with a ton of Nutella, rolled it up, brushed it with some melted butter, sprinkled it with some coarse sugar, and into the oven they went!
I was so happy with how these turned out that I had to snap a couple of quick photos so I could share them with y’all. I had these cooling on a cookie rack in just under 20 minutes — can’t beat that! Plus, they went absolutely perfect with a glass of cold milk. ;)
Nutella Crescents
Nutella Crescents are made with just 4 ingredients - it doesn't get much simpler than this! These rolled pie bites will be a fan favorite in any nutella-loving kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pie dough (store bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup Nutella (or Homemade Nutella)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
- Roll out pie crust into a 9 inch circle (or if it’s store bought…open the package and unroll the pie crust) and slice into 18 triangles (like you would a pizza).
- Spread each triangle with a healthy amount of Nutella. Roll into a crescent, starting with the wide end. Continue till all triangles are filled with Nutella. Transfer crescents to baking sheet, leaving about an inch for possible spreading.
- Brush the top of each Nutella crescent with the melted butter and sprinkle generously with coarse sugar. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
