Place them down on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Using your fingers, push the center down. Be sure to leave a lip on the outside so the filling stays inside.

Now mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar together. Place about a tablespoon and a half into the center of each crescent roll.

Now add about a tablespoon of cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese

Bake them for about 12-15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are lightly browned.

Cherry Almond Danish

butter,

almond paste

almond extract

flour

salt

puff pastry, connected

cherry pie filling

almonds,

apricot jam (optional)

water (optional)

vanilla extract

Using a food processor, combine butter, sugar and almond paste. Pulse until mixture comes together.

Add in egg whites and almond extract until a smooth paste forms. Mix in the flour until a sticky smooth filling is formed.

Arrange puff pastry sheet on a parchment lined sheet tray and map out the center of the pastry with the back of knife.

To make the braid: make 45 degree cuts 2 inches apart along each side of the filling. Leave a flap of dough on each end of the filling to close the Danish.

Fill the center, spreading almond filling evenly across the pastry, leaving a little a 2 inch border along the flaps without filling.

Spread cherry pie filling over almond filling focusing on the middle of the pastry, so no cherry filling leaks out. (Use mostly cherries from filling, discard gelatin)

Flip both end flaps up and to braid, make overlapping folds alternating one strip at a time over the filling at a 45 degree angle.

Brush the pastry with egg wash (egg yolk and water whisked together). Top the pastry with sliced almonds.

Bake for 22 - 25 minutes or crust is golden brown.

Make the glaze by whisking together all glaze ingredients until a smooth mixture has formed and reserve. Mix apricot jelly with 2 tablespoons of water until jam has thinned out.

Remove Danish from oven &amp; brush with apricot glaze immediately. (Go over twice for extra sheen)

Drizzle or spread glaze over warm Danish. Let cool until the glaze hardens.
