Apple Strudel Croissants
Ingredients
For the Croissants
- 2 tubes crescent roll dough
- 4-5 apples skinned and sliced
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
For the Crumb Filling
- 6 Tbsp butter sliced
- 2 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar

- 3/4 cup flour
For the Glaze
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 drops pure almond extract
- 1 Tbsp low-fat milk
Optional
- chopped pecans
Instructions
- Skin and slice all of your apples, discarding the core.
- In a medium saucepan or pot, add in your apples, water, butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix often and cook on medium heat for about 12-15 minutes, or until apples are soft and cooked down into mostly mush.
- Let your apple mixture cool completely (SEE NOTES).
- Mix together your crumble and let sit in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Unroll your pastry dough squares and cut on the perforated lines, creating triangles of dough.
- Spread your apple mixture on each, followed by a small handful of crumble, and then roll each and place onto your baking sheet. Repeat for all croissants.
- Bake for 17 minutes.
- Mix together your glaze. Drizzle generously once the croissants are cooled, sprinkle with pecan pieces, and enjoy!
