- Allow danish to cool before drizzling with icing.

Steps:
- 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.
APPLE DUMPLINGS WITH CRESCENT ROLL DOUGH
I received a similar recipe from my grandmother many years ago and this is a customized version of her dumplings. These apples dumplings are so quick and simple to make but taste like you slaved in the kitchen. Any home cook can make these regardless of experience. These dumplings smell and taste superb and paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, they are like heaven.
