Apple Pie Danish Twists

Ingredients

• 2 8oz Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheets packages (Crescent Biscuit Dough Sheets are fine as well)
• 1 cup apples (diced (I used Honey Crisp))
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 + 2 Tbsp brown sugar (divided)
• 1 tsp + 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (divided)
• 2 Tbsp + 1 Tbsp cinnamon sugar (divided)
• 2 Tbsp butter (softened)
• 1/2-3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tsp milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a small saucepan over med-low heat, cook diced apples, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon for 5-6 minutes, or until apples have softened. Remove from heat and allow to come to room temperature.

3. 3

   Unfold one sheet of dough and spread with softened butter. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 2 Tbsp of cinnamon sugar. Spread apple mixture over the dough evenly.

4. 4

   Top with the other sheet of dough and pinch the ends of the dough together.

5. 5

   Cut into 12 even strips and twist a couple of times (it can be a bit messy but it's worth it!) and place on the baking sheet.

6. 6

   Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until dough is golden brown.

7. 7

   While the danish twists are cooling, mix 1/2 cup powered sugar with 2 tsp milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. If the glaze is too thin, add in the last 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. If the glaze is too thick, add in another teaspoon of milk.

8. 8

   Drizzle glaze of the danishes.

9. 9

   Enjoy!
