Here’s a warm, delicious recipe for Cinnamon Sugar Croissants with Apples—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet treat:
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz / 225 g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 medium apple (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Optional: powdered sugar or caramel drizzle for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.
- Prepare dough: Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into triangles.
- Add apple filling: Place a few apple slices on the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon sugar.
- Roll croissants: Starting from the wide end, roll the dough over the apples toward the pointed end.
- Brush and sprinkle: Place croissants on the baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top.
- Bake: 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
- Serve: Let cool slightly, then optionally dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel.
Tip: For extra flavor, you can toss the apple slices in a bit of lemon juice and brown sugar before rolling to enhance sweetness and prevent browning.
If you like, I can give a shortcut “mini apple pie croissant” version that’s extra gooey and caramelized—great for quick snacks.
