Quick apple croissants are a deliciously sweet twist on the classic croissant, combining the simplicity of store-bought dough with the gentle, comforting flavour of apples. Quick and easy to prepare, this dessert is a perfect blend of flavours and textures and is ideal for a decadent breakfast or a quick snack.
The brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg infuse the croissant dough with a sweet, spicy, and aromatic flavour. These warm, sweet spices pair perfectly with the tangy freshness of thinly sliced apples. Wrapped in the croissant dough, the apples become tender and juicy, creating a delicious contrast with the crispy, flaky exterior of the croissant.
Baking transforms these simple ingredients into golden, fragrant croissants, with a shiny exterior and a soft interior. The brown sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top adds an additional layer of flavour and crunch.
These quick apple croissants are easy-to-make and make a great treat that is guaranteed to delight all lovers of homemade pastries.
