Ingredients:
Sugar Crumb Crispies:
1/4 cup cold butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Dash of salt
1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
Glaze:
1 tbsp softened butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 to 1 1/2 tbsp milk
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking when your Sweet and Crunchy Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza is prepared.
In a medium bowl, begin by creating the delightful sugar crumb mixture. Cut the cold butter into the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and flour until the mixture forms delightful crumbs.
Onto an ungreased cookie sheet, separate the crescent roll dough into 8 triangles. Sprinkle the prepared crumb mixture evenly over the dough triangles, ensuring each bite is packed with flavor.
Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the crescent rolls turn a golden brown, indicating they’re perfectly baked and ready to be enjoyed.
While the rolls are baking, it’s time to prepare the decadent glaze. In a small bowl, blend together the powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and milk until you achieve a smooth consistency. Adjust the thickness of the glaze by adding more powdered sugar if needed, ensuring it’s just right for drizzling.
Once the rolls are baked to perfection and have cooled slightly, cut them into smaller triangles if desired, making them perfect for sharing or enjoying bite by bite.
Drizzle the prepared glaze generously over the Sugar Crumb Crispies, adding a final touch of sweetness to this delightful dessert.
Serving Tips:
Serve your Sweet and Crunchy Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza warm for the ultimate indulgence. The aroma of cinnamon and sugar will fill the air, enticing everyone to dive into this delightful dessert.
For an extra touch of decadence, pair each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The warm, flaky crust and sweet glaze combined with the cold, creamy ice cream create a heavenly contrast of temperatures and textures.
Add a sprinkle of additional cinnamon or powdered sugar on top of each serving for a beautiful presentation and an extra burst of flavor.
Consider serving alongside a cup of hot coffee, tea, or a glass of cold milk to complement the sweetness of the pizza and enhance the overall experience.
Storage Tips:
If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Be sure to let the pizza cool completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup, which can affect the texture.
To reheat leftovers, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through. This will help revive the crispiness of the crust and maintain the flavors.
Alternatively, you can microwave individual slices for 20-30 seconds for a quick and convenient snack.
Avoid refrigerating the Sweet and Crunchy Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza, as the moisture from the refrigerator can cause the crust to become soggy. It’s best enjoyed fresh or within a day or two of baking for optimal taste and texture.

FAQs:
Can I use homemade crescent roll dough instead of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls?
While Pillsbury Crescent Rolls offer convenience, you can certainly use homemade crescent roll dough if preferred. Ensure the dough is rolled out thinly and follow the recipe instructions for adding the sugar crumb mixture and baking time.
Can I substitute the powdered sugar in the glaze with another sweetener?
Yes, you can substitute powdered sugar with alternatives like powdered erythritol or powdered monk fruit sweetener for a lower-calorie option. Keep in mind that the taste and texture may vary slightly from using traditional powdered sugar.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time for a special occasion?
While this dessert is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the components in advance to save time. Prepare the sugar crumb mixture and store it in an airtight container at room temperature. Similarly, you can make the glaze ahead of time and refrigerate it, ensuring to stir well before drizzling over the baked pizza.
Can I customize the flavor of the sugar crumb mixture?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative with the flavors by adding ingredients like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or even a hint of citrus zest to the sugar crumb mixture. Just be mindful of the texture and ensure the additions complement the cinnamon-sugar flavor profile of the pizza.
