Method

  1. For the apples, melt the butter in a large non-stick frying pan and add the apple. Sprinkle over the light muscovado sugar and cook over a lowish heat, turning occasionally, until the apples are tender and golden brown. Do this in batches if you like. Keep warm.
  2. Whisk together the eggs, cream, caster sugar, lemon zest and cinnamon. Split the croissants in half lengthways and dip each half into the egg mixture. Melt a little butter in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the egg-coated croissants on both sides until golden brown. Put a bottom half of croissant on each plate, top with apples and then the top croissant half. Dust with icing sugar.
