01 -

The way flaky croissant meets creamy cheese and crisp apple creates layers of texture that make every bite interesting
It comes together in literally ten minutes but looks like something from a fancy French bakery
Perfect for those days when you want something that feels special without actually cooking

02 -

Slicing apples too thick makes the sandwich awkward to eat, keep them paper thin
Let the goat cheese soften for 15 minutes before spreading to avoid tearing the croissant
These do not keep well, the texture turns sad within an hour so make and eat immediately
