Ingredients:

1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1/4 cup butter
54g
1 tsp salt
5g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1 tsp yeast
5g
2 eggs
100g
4 apples
640g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
2 tbsp corn flour
30g

Instructions:

3. Mix the Dough: Add 1/4 cup of softened butter, 2 tbsp of sugar, 1 tsp of salt, and 2 eggs to the yeast mixture. Mix well until fully combined. Gradually add flour (about 2 1/2 to 3 cups; this is inferred as not explicitly mentioned in the ingredient list but necessary for Danish dough) until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
4. Let Dough Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
2. Cook the Apples: In a saucepan, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and 2 tbsp of corn flour. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring often, until the apples are tender and the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.
2. Roll Out Dough: Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Fill the Dough: Spread the cooled apple filling evenly over the dough's center, leaving about an inch on the edges.
4. Shape the Danish: Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, making sure to seal the edges well. This can be done by folding the dough strips over the filling alternately from each side to create a braided look.
2. Cool and Serve: Let the Danish cool on a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.

- Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients for the best results.

- Let your yeast proof in warm water for a few minutes before adding it to the dough mixture to ensure it is active.

- To prevent the apples from browning, toss them in a bit of lemon juice after slicing.

- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area of your kitchen.

- Brush the edges of the dough with an egg wash before baking to achieve a golden, glossy finish.

With these tips and the simple yet delicious combination of ingredients, your homemade Apple Danish will come out perfectly every time. Enjoy your freshly baked pastries warm from the oven, and savor the comforting flavors of apple and cinnamon wrapped in a buttery, flaky crust.
