- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup apples, peeled and diced
- For the Rolls:

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Fold in the diced apples gently until evenly distributed.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
- Spread a generous tablespoon of the cheesecake filling onto each triangle.
- Roll the dough from the wide end to the tip, sealing the edges to prevent leakage.
