Ingredients:
For the Croissant Dough:
1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
2. Cold cubed unsalted butter – four tablespoons of butter cup or half cup grams.
3. 1/4 cup cold water
4. 1 teaspoon salt
5. 1/2 teaspoon sugar
6. 1 package rapid rise yeast/ or 2 and ¼ teaspoon
For the Apple Filling:
1. 2 apples which must be peeled and sliced thinly.
2. 2 tablespoons sugar
3. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4. 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
5. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Assembling the Croissants:
1. 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Croissant Dough
Place the flour and salt into a large recognisable bowl. Chill the butter and then make a rough cut using a pastry blender or by pinching with your fingers of the chilled butter into a mixture of sand particles. You should then splash in some water and sugar and fold the yeast to it. Then, knead until the dough is smooth, put it aside and leave it to rise about double its size for about half an hour.
Step 2: Prepare the Apple Filling
During this waiting time prepare the apple filling as well. Then take a medium saucepan, add the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to it. Gently simmer about 15 – 20 minutes, stirring often until the apples are nice and soft and the liquid in the pan has thickened into a syrupy sauce. Set aside to cool.
Step 3: Roll Out the Dough
Roll out your dough after it’s risen, and shape it into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. To form this layer you simply fold the dough to thirds and roll it out again to a rectangular shape.
Step 4: Shape the Croissants
Divide the dough into triangular pieces that must be 3 inches wide at the base. Put a spoon of apple filling in the wide end of each triangle, then fold from the wide end, making a roll. Tape the croissant into a half moon and place it onto an ungreased baking tray with parchment paper. Then repeat with the remaining dough and filling, and follow step 4.
Step 5: Prepare for Baking
If you are baking the eclair in an oven then turn it on to 425°F (220°C). With one tablespoon of water, beat the egg in a small bowl. Make sure croissants are coated with egg wash then let the croissants rise a second time for fifteen minutes.
Step 6: Bake the Croissants
After around 15-18 minutes, put the croissants to turn a golden brown color. They can be served warm or at room temperature but I prefer to set aside for few minutes before consuming.
