Step-by-Step Guide
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 small baking sheets with parchment paper.

3. Use a butterknife to score about ¼ – ½ inch inside of each rectangle sheet.
4. Wish together the egg and water and brush the edges of each rectangle.
5. Fill the center of each rectangle with apple pie filling, being careful to stay inside the score marks.
6. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden.
7. Mix the powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze and drizzle it over each danish.
Serve & Enjoy!
Important Recipe Notes
- Thaw the puff pastry according to the package directions before using.
- Keep the apple pie filling inside the scored border so it stays neatly in the center while baking.
- Don’t overfill each pastry or the filling may spill over.
- Brush the edges with egg wash for a shiny, golden finish.
- Let the pastries cool for a few minutes before adding the glaze so it doesn’t melt completely.
- If your apple pie filling has very large apple slices, chop them into smaller pieces for easier serving.
- These are best enjoyed the day they are baked, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
