Jus-Rol Apple Danish

Im still on the Jus-Rol pastry bandwagon and this time I 'made' Apple Danish!
I still can't really claim this is baking - all you do is take the pastry out of the tin and put it in the oven.
I must admit I was a little disappointed with the Apple Danish. The apple sauce REALLY tastes like Apple Sourz shots. I HATE Apple Sourz shots. I feel like im going to be sick (damn my student days!), so this Apple Danish really didn't float my boat. I won't be making these again and I wouldn't recommend them. Although, that is my personal taste - so if you like Apple Sourz then these Danish' are for you!

Once again its a pretty fool proof recipe..

1) Pull the corner of the red label down to the left.

2) The can will open itself, then twist the can to remove the dough.

3) Unroll the dough and separate into pieces where perforated. 

4)Fold two opposite corners into the centre of the pastry overlapping the points by approximately 1cm.

5) Press down firmly to seal and prick wit a fork to secure their folded shape when baked.



6) Place 1 tsp of the apple filling on top of the forked area.

7) Place on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 12-14 mins or until golden brown.

For a deeper golden colour, brush dough with lightly beaten egg before adding the fruit filling.

For icing, simply mix 4 tbsp of icing sugar with 2 tsp of water and stir well to separate any sugar lumps, allow Danish to cool, slightly drizzle the on top and enjoy! 


Sarahs Tip
As you can see, some of the apple sauce spilled onto the tray, so I just spooned it back onto the Danish. Im pretty sure it spilled over because I didn't press down hard enough - so the pastry really puffed up! Oops!
