Ingredients

  • 1 Puff Pastry Sheets
  • 1 Apple thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 5 slices Gouda cheese check tips for alternatives
  • 4 tablespoon Sugar to sprinkle, vary to taste
  • 1 Egg

Instructions

Step I

  • Follow the instructions on the pastry sheet box to thaw the sheet.
    1 Puff Pastry Sheets
  • Whisk an egg and keep it aside. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
    1 Egg
  • Once the puff pastry sheet is thawed, unfold it on a lightly dusted working surface and roll it to a 12-inch by 12-inch square using a rolling pin.
  • Cut them into 9 squares of 4-inch x 4-inch each.

Step II

  • Cut each cheese slice into half. Place this at the center of each pastry square
    5 slices Gouda cheese
  • Now place 2 to 3 apple slices on top of the cheese and sprinkle some sugar.
    1 Apple, 4 tablespoon Sugar
  • Fold 2 opposite corners to meet at the middle of the pastry and pinch them together.
  • Brush the pastry with egg wash and sprinkle some more sugar over the pastry.
  • Applying egg wash gives it a beautiful golden color upon baking.
  • Place each one of these on the baking sheet and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until it is golden brown in color.
  • Apple Cheese Danish is now ready. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

For Starbucks-style cheese danish instead of gouda cheese, you will have to use cream cheese in the recipe. I had baked it recently, but it got disappeared in no time. :-)
  • Beat 1 egg in a bowl, to this add 8 oz of cream cheese, 4 tablespoon sugar, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon lemon juice, and beat this until smooth and creamy. 
  • Fill 1 to 2 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture at the center in place of gouda cheese in each pastry and top it with apples. 
  • Follow the same method for shaping and baking as above.
