Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Apple Filling

In a medium saucepan, combine diced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in cornstarch and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the filling has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. Roll Out the Puff Pastry

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out each sheet of puff pastry into a 10×10-inch square. Cut each square into four equal squares, yielding 8 squares in total.

3. Assemble the Danish

Spoon a generous tablespoon of the apple filling onto the center of each puff pastry square. Fold two opposite corners of the pastry over the filling, forming a triangle shape. Press the edges together to seal, creating a pocket for the filling.

4. Bake the Danish

Place the assembled Apple Danish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of the pastries with beaten egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.

5. Prepare the Glaze

While the Apple Danish is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.

6. Glaze and Serve

Once the Apple Danish is baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of each pastry. Serve warm and enjoy the delicious combination of flaky pastry and sweet apple filling.
