Ingredients

  • 1 (17.3 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed (2 sheets)
  • 1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Caramel sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly grease a large baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Lightly flour a cutting board or other flat surface. Gently unfold both puff pastry sheets onto surface. Use a rolling pan to flatten a bit more.
  • Using a round cookie cutter, cut nine circles from each sheet. Place onto prepared pan.
  • Lightly run a butter knife around the edges of each danish to score a circular border to hold filling. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, add apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir to combine. Spoon apple pie mixture evenly onto the center of each danish.
  • In a small bowl, add egg and water. Gently whisk to combine. Brush edges of danish with egg wash.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until danishes are golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Spoon caramel sauce over tops of danishes.
  • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
