These Apple Strudel Croissants Are the Perfect Thing to Warm You Up on a Cold Winter Morning

Apple Strudel Croissants

Original Recipe by Taylor Celentano

For the Croissants:
2 tubes of crescent roll dough
4-5 apples (skinned and sliced)
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of water
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of cinnamon

For the Crumb Filling:
6 tablespoons of butter softened
2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons of organic cane sugar
3/4-1 cup of all-purpose flour

For the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
A few drops of almond extract
1+ tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk (I used 1 1/2)
Chopped pecan pieces (optional)

Skin and slice all of your apples, discarding the core.
In a medium sauce pan 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.
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 and when croissants are cooled drizzle generously, sprinkle with pecan pieces, and enjoy!
