Ingredients

• 1 package of 8 crescent rolls or crescent roll sheet
• 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 3 apples, peeled and diced (I used Granny Smith)
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 - 4 tablespoons water
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 - 3 tablespoons water

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Mix cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla until smooth and set aside.
• In a medium pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, flour, sugar, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons water and cook until apples are soft, about 7 minutes. Add more water one tablespoon at a time if apple mixture gets too thick. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
• Place crescent roll dough on lined jelly roll pan, making a rectangle. Use a rolling pin to seal seams and thin dough out slightly. Make 2 inch diagonal cuts about an inch apart on the long sides of the dough.
• Spread cream cheese filling in the center of the dough. Spoon apple filling on top of cream cheese filling.
• Pull the top and bottom of dough over filling and then pull the dough from the sides, creating a braided look. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for at least 20 minutes.
• Mix powdered sugar with water in a small bowl until smooth. Add additional water if needed to get to desired consistency. Drizzle over warm danish.
