This
danish braid is loaded with delicious saucy apples and a slightly sweet spread
made with our unique cranberry walnut cheddar. Crescent roll dough helps this
come together in no time!
Place apples, sugar, water and cinnamon in a medium size
sauce pan. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer. Simmer for 8-10 minutes or
until the apples are soft but still slightly chunky.
Blend together cream cheese, Cranberry Walnut Cheddar, and
powdered sugar until smooth. A food processor or using a mixer with the paddle
attachment works great, or mix by hand.
Open the crescent rolls and unroll onto a parchment paper
lined baking sheet. Press the seams of the rolls together, stretching the dough
slightly so that it’s approximately 7 x 10.
Spread the cheese mixture down the middle of the dough,
leaving a border of dough about 1.5 – 2” on each side. Spread the apple mixture
on top of the cheese mixture.
Fold the edges of the dough over. You can choose to overlap
the dough, or leave a small channel in the middle.
