In my Superbowl Series, one of the sweets will be this easy to prepare dessert that tastes fabulous AND… that dough IS vegan!
apple cheese danish
filling #1:
1/2 cup Tofutti creme cheese
filling #2:
3-4 apples, peeled and sliced
1/3 cup earth balance
2 tablespoons lucuma powder
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
dough:
1 tube Pillsbury® Crescent Rolls
Melt earth balance in sauté pan. Add lucuma powder, brown sugar and cinnamon, stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture starts to thicken. Add apple slices, cook on medium-low heat for several minutes, until apples begin to soften.
Place individual crescents in a line with points facing out. Fill middle with creme cheese, then top with apple mixture.
Fold points over and seal.
Bake @ 375 for 17-20 minutes or until fully cooked.
YUM:
My favorite childhood treat was a pastry – especially a cheese danish.

Oh wow. I used to work at a bakery once upon a time, and cheese danishes were my absolute favorite treat there.
so so good, right??
Oh, I’m wishing this were my breakfast today! I loooved apple danish when I was a youngster. Although, I think I’d have to leave the cream cheese out. I can’t get into cheese danish!
apples alone would be great too… and with a glaze on top… Mmm…
i would probably devour this whole thing in less than 5 minutes.
me too… I won’t make this without others around.
Oh wow. The first picture totally captivated me. What a marvelous idea… and vegan to boot! I think I would find it hard to stop eating this one, as Christina has said. Cream cheese + apples… mmm!
yep – don’t make this without other people to share it with. it will be gone either way!!
Hooooly cow, girl! I don’t think I can make this because I know I would eat the entire thing
yes… I don’t think I could ever make this without other people around… because I WOULD eat it all. serious.
I have never seen a danish that looked this enticing… get in mah belleh!!
nom Nom NOM !!
THIS. This is another reason I love you. My all-time favorite treat as a kid was a cream cheese Danish OR an apple Danish, and you’ve combined them. (I wouldn’t touch cherry-filled anything as a kid.) Random. And awesome. <3
aw! I love this! I was channeling my bloggie bff’s childhood… <3
These look so good — and the recipe looks so easy too!
When I was a kid I loved those apple pie/chocolate pie things (so gross now to think about them) — now I love a good cookie with lots of chocolate chips and nuts.
thanks, Holly – and YES – it’s very easy! I totally remember those pies… I used to love the lemon one. ew!
Ok it is official. You need to come move in with me and be my personal chef!
ha! okey dokey!
I did enjoy the occasional cheese danish. However, my fave childhood treat was easily ice cream from Baskin Robbins.
Mmm, Baskin Robbins… what was your favorite flavor?? I loved that peppermint one that was PINK…
I used to love cheese danishes from mcdonalds…and you couldn’t pay me to eat that now! Gross!
My fave now is probably a whole grain cookie—my oh my, how things change
wow… those must have been a regional thing? all I remember were those apple pie things. which were also gross…
Another mouth watering recipe! I love apple turnovers, and am planning to make some tonight (the cheating way though), so this speaks to my mouth!! As for favorite sweet? There are many, but I am not a fan of candy. I am a cookie/cake person for sure.
thank you! yes, I love turnovers too… and totally not cheating!
just… getting to finish and EAT them faster!! 
I’ve never made a danish—vegan dough or not. Why? How could I have wasted so much of my life?
SERIOUSLY reminding me how much I miss baking. Thanks, K!
hee! glad I could help… one of these days I want to tackle making my own puff pastry… just to say I did…
This is such a great twist on the frankenfood Entemann’s treats! Good to know that the crescent rolls are vegan!
yummy!
