Crescent Dough Apple Danish Recipes

CINNAMON APPLE DANISH RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a medium nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add in apples, cinnamon, and sugar. Stir and cook until tender, 10-15 minutes.
• While apples are cooking, in a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, flour, and vanilla. Set aside.
• Pop open crescent roll dough and unroll, leaving crescents in rectangles. On an ungreased baking sheet, lay the crescent roll rectangles together, lining them up width wise. The dough should be almost the entire length of a half sheet pan. Press edges together to even out edges and seal any holes. Cut 1/2 inch diagonal strips up each side of the dough. Carefully spread cream cheese filling down the center of the dough to be about 2-3 inches wide. Top with cooked apples.
• Fold 1/2 inch dough pieces up over filling alternating sides to get a braided pattern. You may have excess dough once you reach the end of the danish, so fold them in as best as you can.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until filling is set and the crescent dough is golden in color. Cool at least 20 minutes before removing from baking sheet.
• Once danish has cooled, remove to a serving platter. In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream to create icing. You may need to add more cream to get the desired consistency. Drizzle icing over danish.
• Cut into pieces and serve.

CRESCENT DOUGH APPLE DANISH

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.
