Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (17.3 oz) frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix until the apples are well coated and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets. Roll out each sheet to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Cut each sheet into 4 squares (total of 8 squares).
- Place one square of puff pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Make a small cut in each corner of the pastry square, about 1 inch from the edge.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple filling into the center of the square.
- Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling towards the center and pinch to seal. Repeat with remaining squares.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk.
- Brush the egg wash over the tops of each danish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Notes
- For a more intense flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the apple filling.
- These danishes can be served warm or at room temperature and are best enjoyed fresh.
