Apple Croissant
Apple Croissant! Trust me…it adds the most amazing complexity and it just works…also, happy V day!I used a 6.5 inch cast iron skillet to serve 2, but you can easily use an 8 or 10 inch one because I had some leftover apple , just another croissant to cover the top.
Ingredients
- 2 Apples, I used and pink Cripps
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar
- 1/2 cup White sugar
- 2 pinches of salt
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 Croissant, or 2 large day old croissant
- 1/3 cup Heavy cream, plus 1 tbsp
- 3 tbsp Butter, Unsalted
- Ice cream, to taste
- Gruyère , to taste
Instructions
- First, slice apples really thin and place in a bowl with 3 tbsp cane sugar and 3 tbsp brown sugar, the pinch of salt and cinnamon.
- Secondly, preheat pan for 2 minutes on high. Then, add in 1.5 tbsp butter and the apples. Fry until slightly caramelized, about 7 minutes.
- Thirdly, using a rolling pin flatten out the croissant(s).
- Then, top the apples with the croissant and bake at 350F for about 20-25 minutes, check that croissant is getting golden brown and not burning. Let it cool about 10 minutes flipping but not too much or they will stick.
- To a sauce pan add the remaining sugar and heavy cream. Bring to a boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes on medium until it thickens stirring often. Then, turn off heat and add a pinch of salt and remaining butter. Mix well.
- Lastly, using the plate you’ll serve the dessert in, flip it, add ice cream, Gruyère and enjoy!
