INGREDIENTS
CRUST
2 can crescent rolls
3 tbsp butter melted and divided
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Filling :
1 tbsp butter
3-4 apples I used golden delicious for these
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
ICING :
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1-tbsp milk
1 tbsp butter softened
HOW TO MAKE IT :
In a medium-size pan, melt butter, add apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often until apples are tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350.
Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into rectangles of dough using two triangles. Pinch closed the diagonal cut to form one solid sheet of dough. Brush with butter and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and sugar.
Roll up the dough from the long side and pinch the edges to seal. Spiral the rope around itself to form a loose circle/spiral. Place onto a cookie sheet lined with baking paper, spacing danishes about 2 inches apart.
Press the centers with a finger to make a well for the filling and stretch the sides a bit if it is necessary.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of filling to each roll. Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
In a small bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar, milk, and butter. You can use a spoon to drizzle it over the tops of the danish, or you can put it into a small zip-top bag and snip of the corner for an easy “piping bag.”
Take the danish out of the oven and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes before icing. Voila! Apple Pie danish without leaving the house or breaking a sweat.
