Servings: persons

FOR THE DANISH:
1/4 cups Butter, At Room Temperature
4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, At Room Temperature
1/4 cups Flour
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/4 cups Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 whole Sheets Of Thawed Puff Pastry
1 Egg Beaten With 2 Tablespoons Of Water
3 Apples Peeled And Sliced Thin
2 Tablespoons Sugar
FOR THE CARAMEL:
1 cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Water
1/2 cups Whipping Cream
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 pinch Salt

1
To make the danishes, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
2
Mix together butter, cream cheese, flour, lemon juice, 1/4 cup of sugar, and vanilla and set aside.
3
On a floured, clean surface, cut each thawed puff pastry sheet into 9 even sized squares. You should end up with 18 squares total.
4
Brush the edges of the squares with egg wash and fold pastry an 1/8 of an inch in on each side to form a little edge. Poke holes in each pastry with a fork and sprinkle with sugar.
5
Drop 1 teaspoonful of the cheese mixture onto the squares and spread it out evenly up to the edges that you formed. I used my fingers here to spread it out, it was way easier than working with the spoon.
6
Arrange sliced apples on top of cheese mixture. Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash and carefully transfer the pastries to a greased baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool in the pans.
7
To make the salted caramel, mix sugar and water in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Once the sugar clumps together to form small looking rocks, add in the cream, stirring constantly. At this point it looks as if you have ruined your caramel, but just keep stirring and the rocks with dissolve as the liquid bubbles. Once melted, add in the butter and salt and mix to combine. Drizzle over pastries and enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
