Dissolve yeast in warm water. In large bowl stir together 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup butter, egg, and salt. Stir in yeast mixture; gradually add flour until soft dough forms. On lightly floured surface, knead dough for 5 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl; let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size. Meanwhile, stir together filling ingredients. Divide dough in half and roll each half into a 12-inch circle. Brush dough with filling mixture. Cut dough into 12 wedges. Roll up, starting at the wide end to form crescents. Place on baking sheets; let rise for about 30 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Stir together glaze ingredients; drizzle warm crescents with glaze. Yields 2 dozen.
