Preparation

Step 1

A cheesecake danish and a cup of hot coffee make a great breakfast every once in a while, so I gave this

a fun fall twist.  I layered crescent rolls, cheesecake, and apple pie filling in a pan to create a delicious large danish.  The cinnamon sugar coating on top gives it a nice crunch and flavor. Don’t forget the glaze!  It adds such a pretty look to the finished danish!

Make the cheesecake layer first.  
Beat the cream cheese until creamy, and then add the sugar.  The sugar helps to continue getting your cream cheese creamy.

Open the can of pie filling and pour it into a large bowl.  Use a knife to cut the apple slices into small bite sized pieces.

Open one can of crescent rolls and spread it in the bottom of the baking dish.  Spread out your cheesecake mixture and top it with the apple chunks. Place the second can of crescent rolls on top and sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar!

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick baking spray.

Open the can of pie filling and cut the apples into small chunks. Spoon the apples over the top of the cheesecake filling.

Open the remaining can of rolls and place the sheet of dough on the top of the mixture. Gently squeeze or press together any seams.

Stir together the powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle over the top of the chilled danish. Let set. Cut into 24 squares.
