This classic finger food gets a flavor makeover with a drizzle of sweet maple syrup and tangy mustard, wrapped in buttery dough. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at any gathering—even if it’s just you wanting a cozy snack on a lazy afternoon.
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 12 cocktail-sized smoked sausages (or mini hot dogs)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 large egg, beaten (optional, for brushing)
- Pinch of salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. While the oven warms, unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface. Separate it into triangles, then cut each triangle in half lengthwise to create smaller strips—one for each sausage.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard and maple syrup until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Spread a thin layer of this sweet and smoky sauce onto each strip of dough. Next, place a cocktail sausage at one end and roll the dough around the sausage, pinching gently to seal the edges.
Arrange your wrapped little bundles seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. If you like a glossy finish, brush each piece lightly with beaten egg. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the sausages are heated through. Let them rest for a minute or two before serving.
Serve your Sweet & Smoky Maple Mustard Pigs in a Blanket fresh out of the oven with extra mustard, a cozy dipping sauce, or even your favorite barbecue sauce on the side.
These fun bites have just the right balance of salty, sweet, and smoky notes, making them a hit at potlucks, parties, or even as an after-school snack for kids. If you’re looking to lighten them up, opt for turkey sausages and reduced-fat crescent dough. Want a spicy twist? Add a few drops of hot sauce to the maple mustard mix, or try using jalapeño or cheddar sausages instead. In any case, these little snackables are certain to satisfy your craving for something warm, comforting, and downright delicious.
