Ingredients
Scale
Apple Pastries
- 1 sheet puff pastry dough
- 1 large apple (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or similar sweet variety)
- 1 egg
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the croissants.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Unfold the puff pastry dough onto a floured surface. Lightly roll it out to smooth the dough, then slice it into 20 thin strips by cutting the sheet into 10 strips and splitting each in half.
- Slice Apples: Slice the apple into 5 rings and use a teaspoon to cut out the cores from the center of each ring. Then, slice each apple ring in half, creating two moon-shaped apple wedges.
- Wrap Apples with Puff Pastry: Take one apple wedge and start wrapping it from one end using two strips of puff pastry. Press the wrapped apple gently to ensure the puff pastry tightly secures the apple wedge. Repeat this process for all apple wedges.
- Prepare for Baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the wrapped apple croissants on it. Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and lightly brush this mixture over the tops of each croissant.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Generously sprinkle cinnamon sugar over each croissant. For babies, reserve a few croissants and sprinkle with plain cinnamon instead.
- Bake: Bake the croissants in the preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 25 minutes or until the croissants are puffed up and golden brown.
Notes
- Use sweet apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji for best flavor.
- Be sure to roll out the puff pastry lightly before slicing to ensure even strips.
- You can adjust the amount of cinnamon sugar on top to your taste preference.
- For a dairy-free version, use an egg substitute or omit the egg wash, although the crust may not be as glossy.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
