Can you say yummy? There is nothing better than homemade toaster pastries. Trust me! These are made quick and easy by using crescent roll sheets. And they are most delicious.
Might even be a great activity to do with a child or grandchild. They could help put the filling on each rectangle.
These pastries can even be done using Nutella as the filling, or try using any of your favorite fruit pie fillings. Just be sure that any fruit is cut small so the filling will fit within the pastry.
