Tips:

  • For the best results, use a good quality puff pastry. Fresh puff pastry works best, but frozen puff pastry can also be used if it's thawed properly.
  • Be careful not to overwork the dough when rolling it out. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • If you don't have a large enough baking sheet, you can bake the apple danishes in batches.
  • Be sure to preheat the air fryer before cooking the apple danishes. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the apple danishes while they are cooking. They can burn easily, so it's important to remove them from the air fryer as soon as they are golden brown.
  • Let the apple danishes cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from spilling out.

Conclusion:

Air fryer apple danishes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these tasty pastries in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give these air fryer apple danishes a try.
