Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup water
• 3 cups strawberries, hulled
• 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
• 3 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.

Step 2

Bring water, 1/2 cup sugar, and cornstarch to a low boil, stirring constantly, in a saucepan. Add strawberries and basil and stir to coat. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cut 1 tablespoon butter into pieces; dot on tops of strawberries.

Step 3

Unravel crescent rolls and rip into pieces, arranging them on top of strawberries as desired, adding as little or as much as you'd like. Melt remaining tablespoon butter in a microwave in a microwave-safe dish, about 10 seconds. Brush melted butter over crescent rolls. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon on top.

Step 4

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden, about 25 minutes, covering with aluminum foil for the last 5 minutes to prevent overbrowning.
