Starbucks Apple Croissant Recipe – How Do They Make It?
Ingredients:
– 2 lbs of puff pastry dough
– 2 lbs of apple
– 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
– 2 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon of water (for Egg wash)
Depending on your preferences, perhaps, food color for garnishing (optional)
Instructions:
1. First, washing the apples, then peel them, core and slice into thin wedges. Mix in sugar and cinnamon in the bowl and put the cookies aside for at least an hour to get the maximum flavor out of it.
2. Now, bake at 400°F (200°C) if you need a quick and easy recipe for dinner. Roll out the puff pastry dough on a lightly floured surface and place on to the surface. Roll the dough out to form a rectangular shape.
3. Divide the dough into crosswise and lengthwise half and then cut each half into equal portions as desired croissant size.
4. Put one spoon of apple mixture in the middle of each square or rectangle and brush its edges with beaten egg.
5. You also place the apple mixture on the dough and then fold the dough over the apple mixture, pinching off the edges and sealing. Also, don’t collapse any of the dough anywhere, because it’s going to create air pockets in the croissants, which are not good.
6. Put the sealed croissants on baking sheet with parchment and brushed with the rest of the beaten eggs on the top.
7. Again, bake the croissants for 15-20 minutes, which gives the biscuit like bottom and is well cooked and crisp on the top.
8. Powder with the powdered sugar if you would like to. Transfer to wire rack to cool a few minutes.
Tips for Perfecting Your Apple Croissants:
Royal apple filling requires certain amount of time and do not try to cheat this time even if you feel that your filling is ready earlier than indicated. It makes it important to allow the ingredients to mix and the natural juices to be expelled.
Because of this bread having a filling in it, it is important to make sure that the edges are completely covered, otherwise the bread will leak out of the side of it when baking.
To get crispy and double layered texture, do not over bake the croissants and let them cools a little before serving.
