These Easy Apple Pie Croissants taste just like apple pie, but without all of the work!

The only thing better than everything pumpkin is eating about ten million apple croissants for dessert. A comfort food meal followed by a classic fall staple is a true winner in my book!

But, let’s be honest, I took the easy route and made a delicious pie into a portable, handheld treat. Foods in mini form are always better, right? So say hello to these Easy Apple Pie Croissants!

The name just about says it all. Apple pie filling is enveloped in a buttery puff pastry, sprinkled with spices, and baked until perfection. One bite of this croissant and your taste buds will be wowed by the flaky crust and warm, apple pie flavor. All the goodness of an apple pie, but without all of the prep work. Doesn’t get much better than that!

And guys, these are a breeze to whip up!

To make these Easy Apple Pie Croissants, I spread two puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface. I spread a can of apple pie filling (I told you it was the easy route!) over each puff pastry.

I then rolled it up like jelly roll, cut into slices,  brushed melted butter on top, and sprinkled on some apple pie spice for extra apple-y goodness. My motto is that you can never have too much apple flavor! Pop ‘em into the oven and enjoy the scent of apple pie that will waft out of your kitchen.

These Easy Apple Pie Croissants are so delicious and full of cozy fall flavors. And the best part? It tastes exactly like an apple pie, but without all of the work! How about them apples?

So the next time you need to make a dessert, try out these Easy Apple Pie Croissants! No one will believe that these took just minutes to prepare!

    Croissants are the ultimate comfort food. But with all that apple goodness. oh my. I can only imagine how good these smell coming out of the oven and how many bite sized delish I'll be popping in my mouth. Perfect size too if you have kids because their small mouths can't eat big croissants, ha, something most people probably don't think about =)

      I absolutely love croissants, Laura! One of my favorite items to get from a bakery. And luckily, these puff pastries work quite well as a croissant, especially since they're bursting with apples! And yes, definitely the perfect size for kids! They can stuff these babies in and be happy! :)

    You mean I don't have to chop 85 apples and roll out pie crusts? Hiiii, you're my new best friend!! Easiest dessert ever, but I feel like no one would know that. It'd be like that rice krispie treat commercial where the lady pretended to be hard at work, but it was super quick and easy to make them. These are perfect!!

      I'm all about the easy dessert, Sarah! I love using apples in baking, but it was so nice to just pop 'em out of a can this time! And no one would ever know the difference! Thanks for the croissant love, Sarah!

    So I have some puff pastry chilling in the fridge, just waiting to be used...I am seriously craving these croissants right now and am going to try this!

      Puff pastry is the "cheat" way to make croissants! :) I feel like I would have a big fat recipe fail if I tried to make the real thing, too. But luckily, these turned out amazing! Thanks, Nicole!

    This sounds great! I bet you could also use sliced apples if you don't have apple pie filling. I don't typically use pre-made ingredients, but find the puff pastry you can buy at the store to be just amazing, so worth it!
