Notes
- Watch the Edges. Stay away from the edges when spreading the cranberry sauce on the dough so the filling doesn’t spill out.
- Using Whole Berry Sauce? If you’re using whole berry cranberry sauce muffins, try and mash the berries a bit before spreading on top of your crescent dough. It will make rolling much easier.
- Bake in the Center. Place your muffin tray in the center of the oven to allow for the most even heat distribution.
- Don't Over Bake. Keep an eye on the baking time while your muffins are in the oven. This prevents them from becoming to dark as all ovens vary slightly in temperature.
