🛒 Ingredients
-
About 3 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
-
1–2 cans apple pie filling (depending on how saucy you like it)
-
2 cans refrigerated croissant rolls
-
Apple butter (a few tablespoons to spread)
-
Cinnamon-sugar mixture (about 2 tbsp sugar + 1 tsp cinnamon)
-
Butter, sliced into pats (about 8 slices)
🔥 How to Make It
1️⃣ Prep It
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Grease a 9×13 baking dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray.
2️⃣ Layer the Cereal & Apples
Pour Cinnamon Toast Crunch into the bottom of the dish in an even layer.
Spoon apple pie filling over the top—spread it out gently.
3️⃣ Add the Croissants
Unroll the croissant dough and lay the triangles over the apple filling.
It’s okay if some overlap—just cover most of the surface.
4️⃣ Flavor Boost
Spread a little apple butter on top of each croissant.
Sprinkle generously with your cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Top everything with sliced butter pats—this makes it golden and rich.
⏱️ Bake Time
Bake at 375°F for 20–30 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and cooked through.
Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving—filling will be hot!
