Ingredients
Scale
Croissant Dough
- 8 count roll croissants
Filling
- 21 oz. can of apple pie filling
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Topping
- Caramel syrup for topping, as desired
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the croissants.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Fill Croissant Dough: Unroll the croissant dough and place a generous spoonful of apple pie filling onto the wide end of each triangle, then sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon for added warmth and flavor.
- Roll the Croissants: Roll each croissant top side down, enclosing the filling inside, and shape into traditional croissant forms. Place them seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Add Caramel Topping: Remove croissants from the oven and drizzle with caramel syrup while still warm for a sweet, sticky finish.
- Serve: Serve warm to fully enjoy the flaky exterior and gooey apple filling.
Notes
- Use canned apple pie filling for convenience, or substitute with freshly cooked apples mixed with cinnamon and sugar.
- If you prefer, sprinkle a little brown sugar over the apple filling before rolling for extra sweetness and caramelization.
- Caramel syrup can be store-bought or homemade, and added just before serving to avoid sogginess.
- Ensure the pastries are sealed properly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- For an extra touch, brush croissants with a beaten egg before baking for a glossy finish.
