Apple Danish Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Yield: 20-24 Servings

25 40 65

Ingredients

PASTRY:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup milk
FILLING:
6 cups sliced peeled apples
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
GLAZE:
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons water

Directions

In a bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine egg yolk and milk; add to flour mixture. Stir just until dough clings together. Divide dough in half.
On a lightly floured surface, roll half of dough into a 15-in. x 10-in. rectangle; transfer to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Set aside.
In a bowl, toss together filling ingredients; spoon over pastry in pan. Roll out remaining dough into another 15-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Place over filling. Brush with egg white. Bake at 375° for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
For glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and enough water to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm pastry. Cut into squares. Serve warm or cold. Yield: 20-24 servings.

What a wonderful way to use apples! Delicious and easy to make. I will be making these often!

A coworker made this for the office and I loved it. Made it for myself the next night for my husband's work - BIG hit. I used Splenda instead of the regular sugar and it turned out great. I did mess up my glaze by thinking I had to use the egg white in the glaze mixutre in addition to brushing the top. But all in all turned out well. Will definitely make it again...and often!

I would cut back on the sugar. One and half cups makes it to sweet and I would use a smaller baking pan as I feel there is not enough pastry dough to cover the top and bottom.

i think i would add a little less sugar next time,very good though
