• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. • Arrange bacon* on a baking sheet. Roast on top rack until crispy, 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Once cool enough to handle, finely chop. • Once bacon is done, reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Let sheet cool, then wash (you’ll use it in Step 6).

• While bacon roasts, wash and dry produce. • Halve, core, and finely dice apple. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot.

• Heat 2 TBSP butter and a drizzle of oil (4 TBSP butter and a large drizzle of oil for 12 servings) in a large pan over medium-high heat. • Add apple, shallot, Warming Spice Blend, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 4-6 minutes. • Add raisins, 2 tsp sugar (4 tsp for 12) and a splash of water to pan; stir to combine. Cook, stirring, until caramelized, 30-60 seconds more.

• Transfer filling to a large bowl and stir in chopped bacon. • Chill filling in the fridge or freezer for 5 minutes. TIP: If bacon isn’t done roasting at this point, just refrigerate the filling and then stir in the bacon when it’s ready!

• Sprinkle a work surface and a rolling pin with a small amount of flour. • Unroll dough onto floured surface and separate into 12 triangles (24 triangles for 12 servings). Roll out each triangle until ⅛ inch thick. TIP: Sprinkle dough with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking. • Place heaping 1-2 TBSP filling at widest end of each triangle. Starting at widest end, roll up triangles to form crescent rolls. TIP: Don’t worry if some of the filling falls out the sides—just tuck in as much as you can.

• Lightly coat reserved baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer crescent rolls to prepared baking sheet. (For 12 servings, bake in two batches.) • Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 12) in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, 30-60 seconds. Brush melted butter over crescent rolls (divide melted butter between batches for 12). • Bake on top rack until puffed and golden brown, 10-12 minutes.

• Let crescent rolls cool for 5 minutes, then divide between plates and serve. ***Bacon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.***
