Here’s a cozy, sweet recipe for Cinnamon Sugar Croissants with Apples—perfect for breakfast or dessert:
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz / 225 g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 medium apple (any sweet-tart variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon.
- Unroll dough: Lay crescent roll dough on a flat surface and separate into triangles.
- Add apples: Place a few apple slices at the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon sugar.
- Roll croissants: Starting from the wide end, roll up the dough toward the point, enclosing the apples.
- Brush with butter: Place croissants on the baking sheet and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle a little more cinnamon sugar on top if desired.
- Bake: 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
- Cool & serve: Let croissants cool slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Tip: You can add a small drizzle of caramel or honey over the croissants for extra indulgence.
If you want, I can also give a shortcut “apple pie croissant” version that’s gooey and caramelized without extra prep.
Do you want me to do that?
