These are flaky croissants filled with sweet apples and cinnamon sugar, perfect for breakfast or dessert. 🍎✨
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 package Croissant Dough (store-bought, refrigerated)
- 2 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
- ¼ cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- Optional: 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (to prevent apple browning)

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Heat oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the apples
- Toss diced apples with lemon juice (if using).
- Mix sugar and cinnamon together.
3. Assemble croissants
- Unroll croissant dough.
- Place a small amount of apples on the wide end of each triangle.
- Sprinkle a little cinnamon-sugar over the apples.
- Roll up the croissant toward the tip, sealing edges gently.
4. Brush with butter
- Brush each croissant with melted butter.
- Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon-sugar on top.
5. Bake
- Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
6. Optional glaze

🍽️ Serving Tips
- Serve warm for maximum flakiness and flavor.
- Pair with Coffee or hot tea.
- Can also add Chopped Nuts for extra crunch.
✅ Tip:
Make sure the croissant dough is slightly chilled while assembling—it rolls better and bakes into flakier layers.
I can also give you a shortcut version using pre-sliced apples and premade cinnamon sugar mix that’s ready in under 20 minutes.
