Rose Apple Danish (with Video)
Ingredients
Apple Roses
- 2-3 apples, Red Delicious recommended
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
Danishes
- 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls, 4 pieces
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
Apple Roses
- Using a sharp paring knife, slice the apple halves lengthwise to 1/8-inch thick pieces.
- In a large microwaveable bowl, add apple slices and lemon juice, mixing well.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and melted butter together. Then add to the apple slices, stirring to coat.
- Microwave for about 2 minutes or until the apple slices are pliable. Strain out any accumulated liquid.
- Arrange about 8 apple slices in a straight row with an inch of overlap on each. Starting with one end, gently roll the slices together to make a rose.
- Repeat previous step to make 10-11 more roses.
Danishes
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat and set aside.
- Open the crescent roll package and unroll the dough.
- Take one roll and pinch seams together to form a rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 5 equal strips.
- Wrap one strip of crescent roll dough around a rose, twisting the dough as you do it. Then wrap a second strip around the first strip. Repeat for remaining roses.
- Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- While baking, mix together powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. It should be thick enough just to be pourable.
- Remove danishes from oven, cool slightly and then drizzle with icing. Serve and enjoy!

Very interesting
Thanks Hettie, hope you’ll try it 🙂
Made a few changes,for a Christmas party and they were wonderful. I used
– “Simply Lemonade”
– Salted butter and extra cinnamon.
– 2-Trader Joe’s (Awesome) Cinnamon Wreath (thawed out, let rise, and unrolled the pastry)
– Mixed 3 varieties of apples; Pink Lady and Sugar Crisp for flavor and Red Delicious for color along with dabs of TJ’s Dried Cranberries.
Not sure why, but it was much easier for me to assemble from the outside rim working to the center.
Baked “apples tree leaves” to insert in edges from left over pastry, using small cookie cutters.
Thanks for such a beautiful and DELISH dessert.
(Everyone especially enjoyed the natural taste – that it wasn’t sickening sweet like pie)
PS: I made two batches of apples and saved the liquid; reduced it to “medium crack” stage for a yummy candy.
Hi there, So amazing to hear, congrats and thanks for your feedback! Sounds so delicious, and what a great way to use the liquid too 🙂
