I tried to hold out as long as I could.

I really did…

But, I just couldn’t resist sharing my very first fall recipe for 2016 with you! Forgive me, please?

Although it’s still officially summer (and trust me, I’m not wishing it away), I’m looking forward to fall. Apple picking, pumpkin carving, cooler weather, pumpkin spice lattes (my addiction), and baking with all things apples, pumpkins, and more. Do you blame me?

And because making recipes and sharing them is my job, I get extra excited for fall. I have a list about 10 miles long that includes sweet and savory dishes for fall…apple this, pumpkin that, slow cooker fixings, sweet potatoes galore…you get the picture. From these pumpkin nutella muffins, to that apple pie granola, those loaded twice baked sweet potatoes, and these pumpkin-doodle cookies, I eat, breathe, and dream about fall goodies.

So, it only seemed natural that I start the season off with these oh-so easy Caramel Apple Danish. These are kind of like a spin on my Easy Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls, but with a different base.

Mini danish, filled with sweet apples and topped with caramel…what more could you ask for?

These Caramel Apple Danish are so easy to prepare. But, you knew that was coming, right? I used frozen puff pastry sheets (thawed) for the base of these danishes. Simply use a cookie cutter, or other round object (such as the bottom of a glass), to make the danish base.

Then, for extra ease, I used canned apple pie filling. Feel free to use fresh apples if you prefer, but I liked that they already came sliced and sweetened. But, just for good measure, I added in some cinnamon and brown sugar. Just wait until you smell these babies baking….it’ll definitely feel like fall!

Once these Caramel Apple Danish are baked, top with some caramel sauce and get ready to be wowed. The buttery danish, sweetened apples, and rich caramel give these cuties an explosion of deliciousness. One bite and you’ll be coming back for more!
