EASY CHERRY DANISH

Steps:

• 1. Lightly grease a jelly roll pan. Blend the following ingredients with a mixer: sugar, butter, shortening, baking powder, vanilla, almond extract and eggs. If you aren't in the habit of keeping almond extract around, just replace it with vanilla. If a little vanilla is good, more is better! Blend on low, then turn up the mixer to high for 3 minutes.
• 2. Add the flour and blend by hand. Spread 2/3 of the batter in the jelly roll pan. Spread the pie filling over the batter and then, drop the remaining batter by spoonfuls onto the pie filling.

EASY BRAIDED CHERRY CHEESE DANISH

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. With your mixer, beat together an 8 ounce package of cream cheese with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 tablespoons vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. Unroll a seamless dough sheet onto the baking sheet. On each long side of the dough, make 2 inch long cuts about 1 inch apart using a sharp knife, pizza cutter, or kitchen scissors. Spread the cheese filling down the middle of the dough. If adding fruit, spread about 1/2 cup (or more if you wish) of cherry pie filling on top of the cheese layer. Starting at one end, fold the strips over the filling on an angle alternating from one side to the other. This will give it the braided look. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the danish is golden brown. While the danish is baking, make the icing. In a medium sized bowl whisk together powdered sugar with 3 tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Allow the danish to cool for 10-15 minutes before drizzling the icing over the danish. I poured the icing in a ziplock bag, snipped the tip, and piped the icing over the danish. Alternatively, you could dip a fork in the icing and drizzle it over the danish. Cut into slices and enjoy!

EASY CHEESY CHERRY DANISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Open package of crescent rolls but do not unroll them. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 8 even slices (as if you were making slice and bake cookies). Lay each slice on the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between pieces. Using the bottom of a drinking glass, flatten each slice. Lightly dust each with flour and using your fingers (lightly flour them), build up the edges slightly. The center of each Danish should be flattened slightly so that each looks like a shallow bowl.
• In a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and almond extract until smooth. Evenly dollop mixture in center of each Danish, then top each with a teaspoonful of cherry pie filling.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Remove to a cooling rack to cool slightly.
• In a small bowl, whisk confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over each Danish and top with sliced almonds, if desired.
