- First, let your sheet of puff pastry sit at room temperature for approximately 20 minutes to soften. While it is coming to room temperature, make your cinnamon apple filling.
- For the cinnamon apple filling: Place 1.5 cups of dices apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a stovetop pan. Stir ingredients until apples are coated with cinnamon and sugar. Add in 1 tablespoon butter. Simmer on low for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once cinnamon apple filling is made, allow to cool slightly. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Unroll your puff pastry sheet and cut into 6 equal pieces. Place puff pastry on a sheet of parchment paper and on a large baking sheet.
- Spoon 2-3 heaping tablespoons of apple filling onto the center of the pastry (within the 1 inch perimeter you have scored). Even divide apple filling between the 6 pastries.
- Mix your egg with 1 tablespoon of water until frothy, brush this egg wash around the edges of the puff pastry .
-
Bake at 400 degrees for 13-15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes. While danishes are cooling, make your powdered sugar glaze. Mix 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tsp water, mix until smooth and the consistency of a glaze. Add in 1/4 tsp of maple extract, stir until combined.
- Once danishes have cooled for 15 minutes, drizzle with powdered sugar glaze. Enjoy!
