#10 Apple danish (time for dessert!)

             

This is such a sweet yummy treat! Pretty simple too if you aren't trying to multitask plus texting a friend at the same time. Make sure you actually read the directions as you go so you don't have to start over like I did. The original recipe source even has these steps laid out all nice and user friendly with photos, but when I printed it, I just printed the words and I wasn't giving it my undivided attention at first. But once I focused this was thrown together in just a few quick minutes, and then it baked and was ready to enjoy.

I split the recipe in half so we wouldn't consume too many calories. I was positive this would be something we would enjoy a little too much and boy was I right. But it's soo worth it, so go quickly make this recipe and enjoy! I will say I thought the glaze was just too much sweet and without it was just perfect. Try it on the side and choose what you like best. 

Apple Danish
2 tubes Crescent Rolls
1 can Apple Pie Filling (cut into small pieces)
2 tbsp. butter, melted 
Cinnamon Sugar (2 tbsp white sugar, mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon)


Glaze ingredients: (if you choose to use it)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3-4 tsp. milk


1. Unroll crescent rolls into 8 rectangles. Press splits to seal. 
2. Spread melted butter over crescent rolls. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture on top. 
3. Roll crescents up length wise (opposite direction than they were in from the can)
4. Then roll into a coil. 
5. Press the middle of each roll to make a dip, (like you are making a bowl)
6. Place 2-3 tbsp of apple pie mixture into each roll. 
7. Sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top.
8. Bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes (I baked about 20 minutes)
9. If you choose to use the glaze, mix the three glaze ingredients and stir until smooth. Then drizzle over rolls when they are finished baking.
