How to Make Apple Danish
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Roll out the puff pastry to a 12x18 inch rectangle.
- Spread half of the pastry dough with half the apple mixture.
- Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, then crimp the edges to seal.
- Brush the top with the remaining egg wash.
- Cut into 12 equal pieces with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
