This yielded 3 more full size Danish with a few mouthfuls of cinnamon sugar apples leftover (which of course, didn’t go to waste!). After the apple mixture sat for a few minutes, I topped the cream cheese mixture (already on the puff pastry square) with some of the apples. Then, to make things interesting, I peeled, cored, and cut up a Macoun apple that I mixed with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. That’s not to say “plain” means boring here because oh no! Would I ever make and eat something boring?! No way!!

Three of the full size danish I made with the plain cream cheese mixture. It’s a good thing Kyle wasn’t stalking the kitchen while I was making it because there wouldn’t have been enough left to fill these Danish with!įrom the original recipe, I made 9 Danish using 3 different danish fillings. I still didn’t have to make the pastry dough (puff pastry), and in my book, “how great is that?” The cream cheese mixture came together quickly and was some seriously dangerous stuff. OK…soooo they took a little longer than I expected they would but that’s not to say they still weren’t easy. Thankfully, Kyle had been up since 5am (?!?!) and had already eaten a bagel, otherwise he would have been like a hungry bear searching for an open cooler. So I took the opportunity over this past weekend to make these for breakfast on Sunday. Just like that! And I won’t compromise my love for cheese Danish when they are covered in canned cherries. It’s been years since I’ve had a cheese Danish, mostly because every time I go for one, usually at a breakfast event at work, all of the plain cheese Danish vanish.
