Questions about Apple croissant

Put it on a baking tray in a preheated oven at 160 °C for 5–8 minutes. Avoid the microwave, which softens the flaky layers.
How should you store an apple croissant?
Keep it in an airtight container at room temperature and eat it within a day or two; refrigeration can make the pastry lose its crispness. To keep it longer, freeze it well wrapped and reheat from frozen in a 160 °C oven until hot and crisp.
Can you make apple croissants at home with ready-made puff pastry?
Yes. Put a small spoonful of thick, cooled apple filling near one end of each pastry triangle, leaving the edges clear; roll it up and seal the tip underneath. Bake on a lined tray at the temperature and for the time given on the pastry packet, until puffed and golden.

Serve it with plain yoghurt or a little crème fraîche to balance the sweet filling, or have it alongside coffee or tea. It also works as a simple dessert with warm custard.
