It's a time of remembrance, being grateful, honoring our military, and remembering how and why patriots so long ago made the sacrifice to start a new nation.
And in my house...of cats hiding from the fireworks.
It's a time of gathering with friends and loved ones to celebrate this great nation. Whether it be for a BBQ, a brunch, a pool party, or to set off or watch the fireworks light up the sky.
And of course, whenever we gather together, we also share some food whether is be a whole meal, a snack, or just dessert. Whether we go to a restaurant or make food at home. Food is always part of celebration.
For today I made Red, White, and Blue Danishes. It was relatively easy to make and pretty tasty!
Ingredients:
1 can blueberry pie filling
1 can apple pie filling
1 can cherry pie filling
1 egg
2 boxes of puff pastry sheets cut into 4 squares per sheet
1 8oz cream cheese
1 C powdered sugar
2 TBSP butter
1/4 tsp vanilla
Recipe:
Preheat over to 400 F.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper
Cut the puff pastry sheet into 4th's.
Place 1-2 tsp of the pie filling on each square diagonally.
In a small bowl add egg and splash of water and mix for an egg wash.
Fold over one corner and brush with egg.
Take opposite corner and fold over filling and press down to seal.
Brush the whole thing with egg wash.
Continue with all pieces and pie filling.
Bake at 16-18 minutes at 400F until golden brown and left cool slightly.
Make cream cheese icing:
Add cream cheese and butter to microwave safe dish and cream together.
Add in powdered sugar and vanilla.
Should be thick but pourable and drizzle over the danishes and serve.
I have not perfected the art of drizzling prettily. But they tasted great!
