APPLE CHEESE DANISH

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, thoroughly whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract and a very tiny pinch of cinnamon. Sometimes I leave out the cinnamon, as I'm not a huge fan of it, but a tiny pinch works ok. More for your taste, if desired. Set mixture aside.
• 2. Peel, core and slice the apples. Dice them finely with a knife, or use a food chopper. Set aside.
• 3. Place the refrigerator biscuits on a cookie sheet or a stone. I use the "grands" w/ butter infused into them, but a 10-pack of reg'lar ol' biscuits will do, too. With a small rolling pin, or with the palm of your hand, flatten the biscuits on the cookie sheet.
• 4. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the flattened biscuits.
• 5. Top the cream cheese with the diced apple.
• 6. Sprinkle the pecans over the diced apple. (Most times, I don't have pecans on-hand, so I leave out this ingred...believe me, they're just as good!)
• 7. With a small spoon, drizzle the caramel topping over the apple topping.
• 8. Bake at 375° for 15 - 19 minutes. The 'grands' take closer to 19; the smaller biscuits are right at 15 minutes.
• 9. Remove to a cooling rack, allow to cool for just a minute, and eat warm and gooey!

APPLE CHEESE DANISH

Steps:

• Place the cottage cheese in a strainer lined with cheesecloth or heavy-duty paper towels. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Place apples in a bowl, and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
• Combine the cream cheese, drained cottage cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in the bowl of an electric mixer, and mix 1 to 2 minutes on high speed, until almost smooth.
• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cut each of the puff pastry sheets into 9 pieces; you should have 18 total. Roll the pieces out, one at a time, to make 5 x 5-inch squares. To ensure the pastries puff up, avoid using too much pressure or rolling over the edges of the dough.
• Place a square in front of you so that it looks like a diamond. Spoon a generous amount of cheese filling down the middle of each square, leaving 1/4 inch of room at the top and bottom edges. Fan out 4-5 slices of apple down the center of each cheese-filled square. Bring the left and right corners together to meet in the center and pinch to seal.
• Transfer the Danish to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining pastries. Sprinkle sugar over each bundle and bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
