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!
