You’ll Need

1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
2 eating apples, peeled and diced small
25g butter, melted
2 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
4 tbsp salted caramel sauce
50g cream cheese
1 egg, beaten
For The Finish
2 tbsp salted caramel sauce
1 tbsp icing sugar
1 tbsp crushed digestive biscuits
Optional But Dangerous
Vanilla ice cream
Biscoff crumbs
White chocolate drizzle
Extra caramel

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.

Add the diced apples, melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to a bowl and mix thoroughly.

Cut the puff pastry into 4 large squares.

Spread a small spoonful of cream cheese into the centre of each square.

Top with a spoonful of salted caramel.

Add the apple mixture.

Fold the corners of the pastry towards the centre, leaving a small opening so the filling can peek through.

Brush the pastry with beaten egg.

Place into the air fryer basket lined with baking paper, leaving space between each Danish.

Air fry at 180°C for 10–12 minutes until deeply golden, puffed, and crisp.

Allow to cool for 2–3 minutes.

Drizzle generously with the remaining salted caramel.

Dust lightly with icing sugar.

Scatter over the crushed digestive biscuits.

Serve warm while the apples are soft, the caramel is flowing, and the pastry is still shattering at the edges.

Lad Tip: The best Danish always leaks a little caramel. Don't wipe it away. Those sticky caramelised bits baked onto the paper are usually the first thing everybody steals.
