Description

Make flaky, golden, and sweet Easy Air Fryer Apple Danish at home. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick snack, this easy recipe is filled with cinnamon-spiced apples and drizzled with caramel.

Ingredients 

  • 3 Caramel Candies, Cut into pieces
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Apple Pie Spice
  • 4 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 1 Golden Delicious Apple, Can substitute any apple
  • 1 can Crescent Dough Rolls
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Caramel Sauce

Instructions

  • Start by chopping the 3 Caramel Candies up into smaller pieces. Set them aside and chop the 1 Golden Delicious Apple into small pieces as well- discarding the stem, core, and seeds.
  • Place the caramels, 1 ½ tablespoons Apple Pie Spice, and 4 tablespoons Granulated Sugar in a bowl.
  • Add the 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract and the softened 4 ounces Cream Cheese to the bowl.
  • Add the chopped apple. Mix well with a spatula. Set aside.
  • Preheat the air fryer temperature to 375 degrees F, air fryer setting.
  • Then, line the air fryer basket with a piece of parchment paper.
  • Cut the 1 can Crescent Dough Rolls into smaller pieces (About five inches across or so, you can make them as big or as small as you like – this will determine how many Danish you end up with, though.)
  • Then form each crescent dough piece into round flat danish shapes, rolling up the edges a little like a crust. Place each piece on the parchment paper. You don’t want them to overlap or touch. (You may have to do more than one batch. I was able to fit four Danish in at a time. )
  • Place a heaping scoop of the caramel apple mixture right in the middle of each crescent dough piece.
  • Place the air fryer basket into the air fryer and “air fry” the Danish for about 6-8 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Once they’re fully cooked, remove them from the air fryer & allow them to cool for a few minutes.
  • Then, drizzle each with the 1 ½ tablespoons Caramel Sauce
