Ingredients
Apple Danish Braid:
- 2½ cups Granny Smith apple peeled, diced
- 3 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 4 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp cardamom
- salt pinch
- 1 puff pastry frozen, sheet
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tbsp milk
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the apples, white sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt in a bowl; mix until well combined.
- Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apple mixture and cook, stirring often, until boiling. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring often, for another 3-4 minutes or until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool and thicken.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove a puff pastry sheet from the freezer and thaw on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Unfold your defrosted puff pastry on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Use the lines already on the folds to guide you on where to make cuts. Using a sharp knife, cut slanting strips along both sides of the pastry, keeping the center untouched.
- Spoon the apples down the center portion of the puff pastry, then braid the pastry by crossing the strips over the filling, overlapping each other. Side Note: Try not to get too much liquid with the apples, or it will leak out during baking.
- Brush the top of the puff pastry with the egg wash. Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar and thinly sliced almonds.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack.
- Make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar with the milk and vanilla extract; mix until creamy and smooth.
- Once the braid has cooled completely, drizzle the top with the glaze, slice, and serve. Enjoy.
