Steps:

• Pat one 8-ounce tube crescent-roll dough into an 8-by-12-inch rectangle, pressing the seams. Brush with dijon mustard; top with 1/2 cup each thawed frozen chopped spinach (squeezed dry) and grated cheddar, and 1/4 cup chopped scallions, leaving a border. Season with salt. Starting with a short side, roll into a log; pinch the edge. Slice into 8 pinwheels. Bake at 350 degrees F on a parchment-lined baking sheet, 16 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Spread 2 tablespoons apple butter on each tortilla. Grate the apple (with the skin) on the large holes of a box grater taking care not to grate the seeds and core (you should have about 1 cup grated apple). Divide the grated apple between the tortillas, pressing it gently into the apple butter to anchor it.
• Lay 1 ounce turkey and 2 halved cheese slices over each tortilla. Roll the tortillas up tightly.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the wraps, seam side down, and cook until lightly toasted and the seam holds together, 1 to 2 minutes. Use tongs to flip and continue cooking until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer the wraps to a cutting board and slice them into 1-inch pinwheels with a serrated knife.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

• In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
• Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Lightly roll each piece of pastry into a 10-inch square. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of each piece of pastry, leaving a slight border around the edges. Sprinkle the Cheddar and bacon in an even layer over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Tightly roll each pastry sheet into a log (jelly roll style), then pinch the seam closed and place seam-side down on the work surface.
• Using a sharp knife, cut both logs crosswise into 12 pinwheels each, approximately 1 inch thick. Transfer 12 pinwheels to each prepared baking sheet, spiral-side up. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water until combined to make an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of the pinwheels with the egg wash.
