The puff pastry croissants with apples are delicious and super quick. If you want to offer a treat to your guests but need to make it quickly, these croissants are perfect. I often make them and they disappear in no time! A quick alternative to the classic apple pie or the yogurt cake.
To make them, you will need very few ingredients: a roll of puff pastry, a couple of apples, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Optionally, you can add pine nuts and raisins. In a few minutes, you will create delicious treats with a strudel flavor, ideal for breakfast or a snack.
If you don’t like cinnamon, you can easily omit it or replace it with spices of your choice.

Tools

Procedure
Wash the apples, peel them, cut into wedges and then into cubes. Put the cubes in a pan, drizzle them with lemon juice, add the brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon (if you don’t like it, you can omit it or replace it with citrus zest).
Cook for a few minutes over medium heat, just to soften them. Turn off the heat and let them cool.
Take the puff pastry, unroll it and cut it into 8 wedges. Drain the apples from the cooking liquid and place a tablespoon at the base of each triangle.
Roll the base of the triangle towards the tip forming croissants and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the croissants with the apple cooking liquid and sprinkle them with granulated sugar.
Place them in a static oven preheated to 392°F for about 15 minutes (adjust according to the power of your oven) or until golden brown.
The puff pastry croissants with apples are ready, take them out of the oven, let them cool, and serve.
