Ingredients
Sugar Crumb Crispies:
- 1/4 cup cold butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Dash of salt
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp softened butter
- 1-1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 to 1-1/2 tbsp milk
How to Make Cinnamon-Sugar pizza made with crescent rolls
- Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). You’ll want it hot and ready when your crescent rolls go in. - Prepare the Sugar Crumb Topping
In a medium-sized bowl, cut the cold butter into the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and flour. Keep cutting and mixing until the ingredients form a crumbly texture. - Arrange the Crescent Rolls
On an ungreased cookie sheet, separate the crescent roll dough into 8 triangles. This is your “pizza crust!”
Sprinkle the crumb mixture generously and evenly over each triangle. - Bake
Bake the crescent rolls in the preheated oven for about 8-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them—when they turn a beautiful golden brown, they’re ready. - Prepare the Glaze
While your rolls are baking, mix together the powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir until smooth. If it feels too runny, add a little more powdered sugar until it’s just the right consistency. - Drizzle and Serve
Once your crescent rolls are baked and cooled, feel free to cut them into smaller triangles if you prefer bite-sized pieces. Then, drizzle that lovely glaze over the top, and voila—dessert is served!

Helpful Tips
- Cold Butter is Key
For a perfectly crisp crumb topping, make sure to use cold butter! This helps create that delicious texture we all love. - Don’t Overload the Dough
While the crumb topping is irresistible, avoid putting too much on the dough to prevent the crust from becoming soggy. - Rotate for Even Baking
Rotate your baking sheet halfway through to ensure the crescent rolls cook evenly.
Substitutions and Variations
Want to mix things up? Here are some fun variations:
- Fruits: Add diced apples, berries, or even sliced bananas to the dough before sprinkling the crumb topping. It’ll give the dessert a fruity twist.
- Nuts: Toss some chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking for an extra crunchy bite.
- Glaze Variations: Switch up the classic glaze by trying a cream cheese or chocolate glaze for a richer finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of dough?
Yes, you can! Crescent rolls work beautifully here, but if you have puff pastry or pizza dough on hand, those will work as well. The texture might vary, but the flavors will still be fantastic!
How can I make it more of a pizza-like dessert?
Add a layer of cream cheese or mascarpone as a base before sprinkling the crumb topping. This will give it a more “pizza” feel, especially if you add fruits like berries or sliced peaches.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the crumb topping ahead of time and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready, assemble and bake the crescent rolls fresh for the best results.
Storage Instructions
If you happen to have leftovers (though I doubt it!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to a week. To regain that crispy texture, pop them in a 350°F oven for a few minutes.
