      Title: Apple Cheese Danish
 Categories: Pastry, Fruits, Cheese, Dairy
      Yield: 12 Servings

 17 1/3 oz Pkg frozen puff pastry
           - sheets; thawed
  2 1/2 lb Cooking apples; peeled (if
           - desired), cored, thin
           - sliced
      2 tb Butter
      1 c  Granulated sugar, divided
      2 tb All-purpose flour
      1 ts Ground cinnamon; divided
    1/8 ts Ground nutmeg
      8 oz Cream cheese; softened
      1 lg Egg
      1 ts Vanilla
           Milk
      2 tb Coarse sugar

  Set oven @ 375+|F/190+|C.

  Lightly grease a 15" x 10" x 1" baking pan; set aside. On
  a lightly floured surface, unfold one pastry sheet and
  roll into a 15x10-inch rectangle. Transfer to the
  prepared baking pan, pressing dough to edges of pan. Bake
  in the preheated oven about 12 minutes or until golden
  brown (pastry will puff and shrink from sides of pan).
  Cool on a wire rack.

  Meanwhile, in an extra-large skillet, cook apples in hot
  butter over medium heat about 8 minutes or just until
  crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. In a small bowl,
  combine 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the flour, 1/2
  teaspoon of the cinnamon, and the nutmeg. Sprinkle over
  apples. Cook and stir over medium-low heat for 2 minutes
  more; set aside.

  In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and the remaining
  1/2 cup granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on
  medium speed until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla just
  until combined. Carefully spread cream cheese mixture
  over baked pastry to within 1" of the edges. Spoon
  apple mixture over cream cheese mixture.

  On a lightly floured surface, unfold the remaining pastry
  sheet and roll into about a 13" x 9" rectangle (make
  sure pastry is large enough to completely cover apple
  mixture). Place on top of apple mixture. Lightly press
  edges of top pastry to edges of bottom pastry. Lightly
  brush pastry with milk. Using a sharp knife, cut a few
  slits in pastry to allow steam to escape. In a small
  bowl, combine coarse sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon
  cinnamon; sprinkle over pastry.

  Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until pastry is slightly
  puffed and golden brown. Cool on wire rack about 45
  minutes. Serve slightly warm. Store any leftovers in the
  refrigerator.

  MAKE-AHEAD: Prepare the apple mixture as directed in Step
  Two. Cool and transfer to an airtight container; cover.
  Store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

  Makes: 12 servings
