Cinnamon Apple Pie Croffle
Apples and cinnamon make the perfect pairing, but when you pile them high atop the flaky croffle you have a match made in heaven. Thankfully, they are incredibly easy to make!
Equipment
- 1 waffle iron
- 1 small saucepan
Ingredients
Croffles
- 1 package frozen puff pastry dough
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Cinnamon Apple Pie filling
- 4 red or green apples, diced
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Croffles
- Roll up the puff pastry starting at the wide end of the triangle and roll it to the short end. Roll your puff pastry croissants in granulated sugar.
- Heat your waffle iron until hot.
- Spray your waffle Iron with non-stick spray.
- Cook 1 to 2 croissants at a time, depending upon the size of your waffle Iron.
Cinnamon Apple Filling
- Slice and cube your apples.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the cinnamon. Whisk that together.
- Add in the apples, sugar, and 3 tablespoons water and stir to coat the apples. Let them cook for 5 minutes with the lid on so the apples begin to soften.
- While they cook, make your thickening sauce. In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons water and cornstarch together. Whisk it to dissolve the cornstarch in the water.
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the apple pie filling and stir well.
- Allow the mixture to bubble and thicken.
- Once thick, remove it from the heat. Pour a generous amount over each croffle.
Notes
- Roll your unbaked croffles in sugar to get a caramelized glaze on the outside when you press them.
- Use cooking spray on your waffle iron prior to pressing each croffle so they don’t stick.
- Use a for to gently release the croffle from the waffle iron if it sticks.
