Description

These warm apple cinnamon croissants are a delightful treat for breakfast or brunch. Flaky crescent roll dough is filled with spiced apples, creating a comforting and aromatic pastry that everyone will enjoy.


Ingredients

Crescent Roll Dough:

  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)

Apple Filling:

  • 1 apple, peeled and sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional for extra warmth)

Additional:

  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles on the baking sheet.
  3. Make the Apple Filling: Peel, core, and slice the apple. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.
  4. Assemble the Croissants: Brush each triangle with butter, sprinkle with sugar mixture, add apple slices, and roll up.
  5. Bake: Brush assembled croissants with butter, sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve: Let cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Avoid overfilling the croissants as it may cause bursting during baking.
  • Slice the apples thinly for proper softening during baking.
  • Allow the dough to slightly warm up for easier handling.
  • Let the croissants cool before dusting with powdered sugar to prevent melting.
