Ingredients

• ▢ ½ oz Active Dry Yeast
• ▢ ½ cup Warm Milk 110 - 115 degrees F
• ▢ 6 cup All-purpose Flour
• ▢ ⅓ cup Granulated Sugar
• ▢ 2 tsp Salt
• ▢ 1 cup Cold Butter Cubed
• ▢ 1.5 cup Warm Half and Half Cream 70 - 80 degrees F
• ▢ 6 Egg Yolks
• ▢ 1 can Apple Pie Filling 21 oz
• ▢ ICING
• ▢ 3 cup Powdered Sugar
• ▢ 2 tbsp Softened Butter
• ▢ ¼ tsp Vanilla Extract
• ▢ 4-5 tbsp Half and Half Cream

Instructions

 

• Place the warm milk in a small bowl and sprinkle the yeast over the top until frothy.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt.
• Cut in the cubed butter until crumbly.
• Add the yeast mixture, cream and eggs to the flour/butter mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
• Refrigerate overnight (about 12 hours).
• Punch down the dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface.
• Divide the dough into 4 equal sections.
• Roll each section into a 18" x 4" rectangle and cut into 4" x 1" strips.
• To form the danish, place two strips together and twist. Shape into a ring and gently pinch the edges together. Transfer to a greased baking sheet. Repeat until there is no more dough strips left.
• The danishes should be 2" a part to allow for rising.
• Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for about 45 minutes (in a warm place).
• Preheat the oven to 350.
• Using your pointer finger, gently push down in the middle of each danish to form a small indentation for the apple filling.
• Top each danish with 1-1.5 Tbsp. of the apple filling.
• Bake for 15-16 minutes until slightly browned.
• Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
• While the danishes are cooking, make the icing by beating the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, salt and cream until your desired consistency is formed.
