Ingredients

  • Small check mark in a circle icon 1 red skinned apple (about 150g), halved, cored and finely diced
  • Small check mark in a circle icon 1 tablespoon caster sugar
  • Small check mark in a circle icon 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Small check mark in a circle icon 1 can Jus-Rol™ Croissants
  • Small check mark in a circle icon Icing sugar, for dusting
Equipment required
  • Large baking sheet
  • Baking paper
  • Bowl
  • Knife

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C for fan assisted ovens), Gas Mark 6. Line a large baking sheet with baking paper. Mix together the apple, caster sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  2. Open the can of croissant dough. Unroll the dough and use a knife to separate the triangles cutting along the perforated lines. Cut each triangle in half to make 12 small triangles in total (see Tips). Place on the baking sheet.
  3. Scatter the apple mixture over the triangles. Gently roll up each triangle of dough from the shorter side to the opposite corner and curve to create a crescent shape.
  4. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Cool for 4-5 minutes, then remove from the baking sheet, dust with icing sugar and serve.

Tips

  • Once halved, the smaller triangles will not all be the same shape, so gently stretch the dough if needed, to form triangles that have one shorter side.
  • These are best eaten warm from the oven but they will keep in an airtight container for 1 day. Reheat at 200°C (180°C for fan assisted ovens), Gas Mark 6 for 5-7 minutes before serving.
