Apple-Pear Cream Cheese Drop Danish

Who doesn’t love a good cheese Danish?! They are rich, creamy, highly satisfying and, when combined with apple and pear, are a perfectly seasonal treat to serve up on a crisp fall day – pair them with coffee and you’ve got yourself a need-to-have treat. 

To make these mouthwatering Apple-Pear Cream Cheese Danishes, have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go. In a small bowl, stir together ingredients for the cream cheese mixture, and in a larger bowl, stir together ingredients for the dough.

Peel and slice a Bosc pear and a Pink Lady apple (or whatever you prefer). You’ll only need about half of each, so save the extra for snacking!

Once the dough is ready, drop rounded tablespoonfuls on a lightly greased baking sheet. Make a shallow well in the center of each and fill with the cream cheese mixture.

Top each with a few slices of apple and pear, then brush the fruit slices with melted butter and honey.

Bake until golden brown and puffy. Sprinkle tops with cinnamon and serve warm.

And there you have it, a fresh and exciting new fall treat!
