Here’s a simple and delicious way to make Cinnamon Sugar Croissants with Apples in a Slow Cooker. This method gives you a warm, gooey dessert without turning on the oven.
🥐 Ingredients
- 1 can of croissant dough (8–10 pieces)
- 2–3 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract
🍎 Instructions
- Prepare the apples
- Toss apple slices with a little cinnamon and sugar (reserve some for topping).
- Optional: add a teaspoon of vanilla for extra flavor.
- Prepare the croissants
- Unroll the dough and separate into triangles.
- Roll each triangle around a few apple slices to form little pockets.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar
- Brush croissants with melted butter.
- Sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Arrange in the slow cooker
- Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place croissants seam side down in a circle or spiral, slightly apart.
- Cook
- Cover and cook on low for 2–3 hours.
- Check after 2 hours; croissants should be golden and cooked through.
- Avoid opening the lid too often to prevent heat loss.
- Serve
- Let cool for a few minutes.
- Optional: drizzle with icing or caramel sauce.
- Serve warm for a gooey, fall-inspired treat!
💡 Tips:
- Using firmer apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith prevents them from turning mushy.
- If you like extra gooeyness, add a little brown sugar or caramel in the center before rolling.
- Slow cooker times may vary; check after 2 hours to prevent overcooking.
If you want, I can make a shortcut version with pre-sliced apples and canned croissant dough that takes less than an hour in the slow cooker. It’s super quick and still delicious. Do you want me to do that?
