Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
1 egg, beaten
2 tsp. almond extract, divided
1/2 cup PLANTERS Sliced Almonds, toasted, divided
2 cans (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1 cup cherry pie filling
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. water

Steps:

  • Mix cream cheese, granulated sugar, flour, egg and 1 tsp. almond extract in medium bowl until blended. Add 1/4 cup nuts; mix well.
  • Cover baking sheet with parchment. Unroll crescent dough into 16 triangles. Place 1 triangle sideways at bottom of prepared baking sheet. Place second triangle above first triangle, overlapping long edges by 1/2 inch. Repeat with remaining dough triangles to form candy cane, reversing points of triangles as necessary to make curved candy cane shape at top as shown in photo.
  • Spread cream cheese mixture onto center of dough to within 1/2 inch of edges; top with pie filling. Starting at bottom of candy cane, fold points of dough triangles over filling, pressing points into dough on opposite side to seal.
  • Bake 20 to 25 min. or until golden brown. Cool completely.
  • Mix powdered sugar, water and remaining almond extract until blended; drizzle over Danish. Sprinkle with remaining nuts.
