Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Unroll crescent dough and separate each tube into eight triangles; cut 14 of the 16 triangles lengthwise into three triangles each. Place one sausage on the wide end of each smaller triangle; roll up tightly.
2. Arrange 24 appetizers, point side down, in a 10-in. circle on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place remaining appetizers in the center of the ring to form a 7-in. circle. Bake 16-18 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Shape remaining 2 dough triangles into a bow; place on another parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Cool ring 5 minutes before carefully removing to a serving platter, placing bow on bottom. Garnish with rosemary sprigs.
