Easy Breakfast Pastries Apple Danish Recipe

Apple Roses

1. Using a sharp paring knife, slice the apple halves lengthwise to 1/8-inch thick pieces.
2. In a large microwaveable bowl, add apple slices and lemon juice, mixing well.
3. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and melted butter together. Then add to the apple slices, stirring to coat.
4. Microwave for about 2 minutes or until the apple slices are pliable. Strain out any accumulated liquid.
5. Arrange about 8 apple slices in a straight row with an inch of overlap on each. Starting with one end, gently roll the slices together to make a rose.
6. Repeat previous step to make 10-11 more roses.

Danishes

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat and set aside.
2. Open the crescent roll package and unroll the dough.
3. Take one roll and pinch seams together to form a rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 5 equal strips.
4. Wrap one strip of crescent roll dough around a rose, twisting the dough as you do it. Then wrap a second strip around the first strip. Repeat for remaining roses.
5. Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
6. While baking, mix together powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. It should be thick enough just to be pourable.
7. Remove danishes from oven, cool slightly and then drizzle with icing. Serve and enjoy!
