Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 ounces cream cheese
¼ cup sugar (granulated)
1 tube crescent dough sheet (*note1)
1 large granny smith apple (peeled & diced)
3 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
2 - 3 teaspoon milk
caramel topping / sauce

Steps:

  • Melt butter in sauce pan. Stir in apples, brown sugar and apple pie spice.Bring to boil and allow to cook just until apples start to soften. While apples are cooking, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir slurry into apple mixture and then stir in vanilla extract. Bring back to a boil then reduce heat to low for another 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • In a small bowl, blend cream cheese and ¼ cup of sugar.
  • Roll out crescent dough sheet. Slice into strips. Spread strips of dough with 2-3 tablespoons of cream cheese mixture. Starting on the long side, gently roll and twist at the same time. Spiral and curl loosely - tuck the seam inside. Arrange on parchment lined baking sheet pan.
  • Using the backside of a spoon, flatten the hole in the center to make room for filling. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple filling.
  • Bake at 350°F for 22-25 minutes, or until golden.
  • Allow danish to cool before drizzling with icing.
  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to bowl. Add milk slowly, 1 tablespoon at a time and mix well. Continue mixing and adding milk until you get the consistency for a thick icing. If you add too much milk, just sprinkle in a little more sugar.
  • Drizzle icing and over cooled danish. If using caramel sauce, drizzle the caramel over the top as well.

DANISHES:
2 tubes crescent rolls
1 can apple pie filling
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Cinnamon sugar
GLAZE:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 to 4 teaspoons milk

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Separate dough into eight rectangles (only 4 are pictured). Seal perforations. Using a brush or spoon, spread melted butter all over crescent rolls. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture (2 tablespoons white sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon) I reuse this little bottle. I add my cinnamon and sugar, shake it up and voila. I always have this cinnamon sugar on hand and it makes it so easy to sprinkle on the dough. Roll up from long side; pinch edges to seal. Holding one end, loosely coil each. Coil them up like snakes. Now, you want to get in there with your fingers and spread out the dough some to make room for the filling. Just pull and stretch and make a nice dent in the middle. Open can of apple pie filling and using a knife, cut apple slices into smaller chunks. Just keep poking and slicing around until all your apples are cut into more manageable pieces. Place on cookie sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Top each coil with about 2 to 3 tablespoons of apple pie filling. Sprinkle the tops with a bit more cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake at 350°F for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown. For the glaze, in a bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. Stir until smooth and drizzle over each warm danish. These taste best when served warm. Makes 8 danishes.
