Apple Danish Puff Pastry

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Step 2

Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface into a square about 12x12 inches.

Step 3

Using a pizza cutter, slice the puff pastry into 6 even rectangles.

Step 4

Place the rectangles on a baking tray that's been lined with parchment paper.

Step 5

Add about 2 tablespoons of the apple pie filling in the center of each puff pastry rectangle.

Step 6

Brush the egg yolk around the edges of the puff pastry. This will act as a glue to help you form the pastry.

Step 7

Fold 2 corners of the dough into the middle over the apple pie filling and then fold the other two corners over and pinch all the corners together.

Step 8

Place the pastries on the baking tray and place the baking tray in the refrigerator to chill for 15 to 30 minutes.

Step 9

Brush each pastry with the remaining egg yolk.

Step 10

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 11

Allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking tray and then gently remove them to a cooling rack.

Step 12

Prepare the glaze by combining the powdered sugar in a bowl with the heavy cram and almond extract.

Step 13

Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the Danishes.
