Frequently Asked Questions
What Types of Apples Should Be Used for the Croissants?
Feel free to use any type of apple that you enjoy the most such as cortlands, macintosh, pink lady, or spartan. The croissants don’t require very long to bake in the oven so the apples won’t become mush during the baking process, even if you use a more delicate apple for baking.
Can I Use Pears Instead?
Yes, pears are a wonderful replacement for apples in fall baking.
Why Aren’t the Croissants Rising?
If you notice that your croissant dough isn’t rising, it could be that your kitchen is too cold. In this case, move it to a warmer location in your home, such as on top of the fridge or in a turned off oven, which should speed up the rising time.
How to Store Fluffy Apple Cinnamon Croissants
Once cooled, the apple cinnamon croissants can be stored in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 2 to 3 days, or in the fridge for longer storage.
