Apple Danish: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe with 7 Amazing Steps


  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 55 minute

Ingredients

– 1 package (17.3 ounces) of frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
– 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
– 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
– ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)


Instructions

Making your Apple Danish is as simple as following these steps:

1. Prepare the Apples: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until apples begin to soften. Remove from heat and let cool.

2. Preheat Oven: While the apples cool, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Prepare Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet into a rectangle, roughly 12×8 inches. Cut each sheet into four equal squares.

4. Fill the Pastry: Place 2 tablespoons of the cooled apple filling in the center of each square. Be careful not to overfill.

5. Fold and Seal: Fold opposite corners of each pastry square towards the center to form a diamond shape, pinching the edges together to seal. Alternatively, you can twist them for a decorative touch.

6. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each Apple Danish with the beaten egg. This will give them a lovely golden color when baked.

7. Bake: Place the pastries on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky. Remove from the oven and allow cooling for about 10-15 minutes.
