How to Make Apple Danish Braid
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Press the seams together to form a large rectangle.
- Spread the apple filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
- Cut the log in half lengthwise, then gently twist the two halves together to create a braid.
- Place the braid on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
