For the Filling:
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Caramel Macchiato Creamer (or heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup Mom's Apple Pie in a Jar (or store bought apple pie filling)
For the danish dough:
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tube crescent roll dough (sheet form)
- 1 tablespoon Caramel Macchiato Creamer (or heavy cream)
For the icing drizzle
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Caramel Macchiato Creamer
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix the cream cheese, vanilla, creamer, egg, brown sugar, salt, and flour together until creamy and there are no cheese lumps.
- Place your crescent dough on the baking tray you will be baking your braid on.
- Next, Put the cheesecake filling in the center of your crescent dough leaving room on each side of the filling for cutting the strips to braid. Top with some of the apple pie filling.
- Once you have the filling centered, cut about 10 even strips (about 1" for each strip) on each side of the danish filling.
- Bring the top portion from one side of the danish to the opposite side and "crisscross" the dough strips to the bottom.
- Before you bring your last strips across, bring the bottom part of the danish up and cover your bottom layer of filling. Finish crossing over your last few strip to completely enclose the braid.
- Bake the danish for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
- While danish is cooling, mix together the powdered sugar and creamer.
- Once danish has cooled about 10 minutes, drizzle with icing and top with sprinkles.
