I totally enjoy both making and eating this apple dessert. I know it's not a "pie" but I couldn't find another category labled "desserts." I hope you enjoy this as much as my family and all the friends I've made it for!
Apple Danish
Combine in large bowl:
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons yeast
Add:
¾ cup warm water
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
Beat one minute.
Stir in:
1 cup flour.
Knead until smooth. Coat the inside of a bowl with oil and place the dough into the bowl, turning to coat it with oil. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 45 minutes). Punch down; let rest 15 minutes.
Prepare filling:
In a small saucepan mix:
2 ¼ cups chopped apples
½ cups packed brown sugar
1 ½ tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Cook over low heat until apples are tender (add water if it becomes too thick).
Roll dough into a 13 x 8 inch rectangle. Place onto greased cookie sheet. Spread apple filling lengthwise over center third of the dough. Make cuts from the edges of dough to filling at one inch intervals. Fold these strips at an angle over the center filling, crossing one side over the other. Cover; let rise until doubled.
Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes, covering with foil the last 10 minutes to prevent over browning.
Top with Browned Butter Glaze:
In a small saucepan heat 2 tablespoons butter over low to medium heat until light brown in color; cool.
Stir in:
2/3 cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
Stir in 3-4 teaspoons milk until smooth and thin enough to drizzle.
Drizzle over the apple danish.
