Josie's Apple Braid

Josie made this for a steering meeting and it was delicious!

1 pkg (8oz.) refrigerated crescent rolls
2 T flour
2 medium apples
1/3 C sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. cloves
2 tsp. butter or margarine, melted

Glaze: 1/4 C powdered sugar
1 T milk

Preheat oven to 375. Unroll crescent roll dough and place in bottom of 9 x 13 dish. Lightly sprinkle with flour. Roll dough until perforations are sealed and dough is flat. Peel, core, and slice apples. Cut in quarters. Combine sugar and spices in bowl. Add apples and toss. Place apple mixture down center of dough, approximately 2" wide. Cut 10 slits, about 3/4" wide on each long side of dough surrounding apple mixture. To braid, fold strips of dough at an angle across apple mixture alternating dough strips from one side to the other. Fold ends over to seal. Melt butter; do not boil. Brush with melted butter. Bake 30 minutes. Cut and serve warm. To make glaze, combine powdered sugar and milk. Stir until smooth. Pour over warm braid. Makes 10-12 servings.
