# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • It balances sweet and savory in a way that makes every bite feel like a surprise from a fancy café
  • Ready in ten minutes flat but tastes like you put way more thought and effort into it
02 -
  • Cold goat cheese will tear your croissant apart, so do not skip letting it soften on the counter while you slice everything else
  • Very thick apple slices make the sandwich unstable and harder to eat, so take your time slicing them as thin as you possibly can
03 -
  • Warm your croissants for about three minutes in a low oven before assembling, it makes the cheese melt slightly into all those flaky layers
  • Pat your apple slices dry with a paper towel if they are especially juicy, otherwise your sandwich might get soggy fast
