Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Open the can of biscuits and slice each in half (like you’re cutting a hamburger bun).
  • Flatten each biscuit half with your fingers, then press each into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cavity.
  • Fill each with about 2 tablespoons of pie filling.
  • Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and puffy. Cool 10 minutes in pan then use a butter knife to help you remove the danish from the pan. They should pop right out. Cool completely before frosting.
  • To make frosting: Whisk powdered sugar with extract and 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream. Add more cream as needed for drizzle consistency. Drizzle over danish.Store loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • Any fruit pie filling will work for these Danish bites – try raspberry, blueberry, or apple pie filling to switch up the flavors.
  • How to store them: If you’re not serving them right away, keep them loosely covered in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to three days.
  • Can you freeze them? You can also freeze them for up to two months.
