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.
