Title: Apple Cheese Danish
Categories: Pastry, Fruits, Cheese, Dairy
Yield: 12 Servings
17 1/3 oz Pkg frozen puff pastry
- sheets; thawed
2 1/2 lb Cooking apples; peeled (if
- desired), cored, thin
- sliced
2 tb Butter
1 c Granulated sugar, divided
2 tb All-purpose flour
1 ts Ground cinnamon; divided
1/8 ts Ground nutmeg
8 oz Cream cheese; softened
1 lg Egg
1 ts Vanilla
Milk
2 tb Coarse sugar
Set oven @ 375+|F/190+|C.
Lightly grease a 15" x 10" x 1" baking pan; set aside. On
a lightly floured surface, unfold one pastry sheet and
roll into a 15x10-inch rectangle. Transfer to the
prepared baking pan, pressing dough to edges of pan. Bake
in the preheated oven about 12 minutes or until golden
brown (pastry will puff and shrink from sides of pan).
Cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, in an extra-large skillet, cook apples in hot
butter over medium heat about 8 minutes or just until
crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. In a small bowl,
combine 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the flour, 1/2
teaspoon of the cinnamon, and the nutmeg. Sprinkle over
apples. Cook and stir over medium-low heat for 2 minutes
more; set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and the remaining
1/2 cup granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on
medium speed until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla just
until combined. Carefully spread cream cheese mixture
over baked pastry to within 1" of the edges. Spoon
apple mixture over cream cheese mixture.
On a lightly floured surface, unfold the remaining pastry
sheet and roll into about a 13" x 9" rectangle (make
sure pastry is large enough to completely cover apple
mixture). Place on top of apple mixture. Lightly press
edges of top pastry to edges of bottom pastry. Lightly
brush pastry with milk. Using a sharp knife, cut a few
slits in pastry to allow steam to escape. In a small
bowl, combine coarse sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon
cinnamon; sprinkle over pastry.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until pastry is slightly
puffed and golden brown. Cool on wire rack about 45
minutes. Serve slightly warm. Store any leftovers in the
refrigerator.
MAKE-AHEAD: Prepare the apple mixture as directed in Step
Two. Cool and transfer to an airtight container; cover.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Makes: 12 servings
