Servings: 12 Apple Pie Danish Twists

Ingredients

Apple Pie Danish Twists

  • 2 8oz Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheets packages (Crescent Biscuit Dough Sheets are fine as well)
  • 1 cup apples diced (I used Honey Crisp)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 + 2 Tbsp brown sugar divided
  • 1 tsp + 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon divided
  • 2 Tbsp + 1 Tbsp cinnamon sugar divided
  • 2 Tbsp butter softened

Cinnamon Vanilla Glaze

  • 1/2-3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small saucepan over med-low heat, cook diced apples, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon for 5-6 minutes, or until apples have softened. Remove from heat and allow to come to room temperature.
  • Unfold one sheet of dough and spread with softened butter. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 2 Tbsp of cinnamon sugar. Spread apple mixture over the dough evenly.
  • Top with the other sheet of dough and pinch the ends of the dough together.
  • Cut into 12 even strips and twist a couple of times (it can be a bit messy but it's worth it!) and place on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until dough is golden brown.
  • While the danish twists are cooling, mix 1/2 cup powered sugar with 2 tsp milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. If the glaze is too thin, add in the last 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. If the glaze is too thick, add in another teaspoon of milk.
  • Drizzle glaze of the danishes.
  • Enjoy!
