Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside. Lie down a sheet of parchment paper on your counter.
Roll out each of the 8 crescent rolls individually.
- In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add 2 tbsp of the cinnamon sugar mixture to each crescent and layer it evenly.
