INGREDIENTS:

  • Unsalted butter

  • Peeled diced apples

  • Granulated sugar

  • Apple cider or juice

  • Ground cinnamon

  • Cornstarch

  • Water

  • Thawed puff pastry

  • Powdered sugar

Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the apple, sugar, apple cider, and cinnamon. Stir so the apples are coated. Once the mixture bubbles, cook the apple for three minutes. Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Pour the mixture into the pan and stir until the liquid thickens. Remove the pan from the heat.

  • Cut the thawed puff pastry sheet into six rectangles.

  • Divide the apple filling equally amount the rectangles and then roll the dough up. Pinch the ends to seal the dough.

  • Place the croissants on a prepared baking sheet.

  • Bake the apple croissants for 15 to 18 minutes at 375° or until the puff pastry is golden brown. Allow the croissants to cool before glazing them.

  • How to make glaze for croissants: Whisk melted butter, powdered sugar, and apple cider until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cooled croissants.
