Preparation and cooking times
- 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.
- 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.
