Easy Cherry Danishes are made with crescent roll dough filled with cream cheese and cherry pie filling and topped with a simple glaze. Such an easy breakfast pastry!

 
Only 7 simple ingredients needed. Using a can of crescent roll dough makes this recipe super easy. Just cut the roll into 8 slices. Flatten them out and fill with sweetened cream cheese and cherry pie filling.
I like to use a little almond extract for some almond flavor. You can also top them with slivered almonds for a little crunch.

HOW TO MAKE EASY CHERRY DANISHES:

Unwrap the tube of crescent roll dough. Do NOT unroll the dough. Cut it into 10 slices.
Flatten each slice with your hands, building up the edges a little to hold the cherry pie filling.
Fill each with a spoonful of cream cheese/sugar mixture. Top with a spoonful or two of cherry pie filling. Bake for 18 minutes. If any of the cherries slide off, just scoop them up and place them back on top.
Make the glaze and drizzle on the danishes.

 
These Easy Cherry Danishes are great for breakfast or brunch.
RECIPE TIPS:
You will have a little cherry pie filling left over. Youe can use it for an ice cream or pancake topping.
Best eaten right away but can be refrigerated for 2 to 3 days and reheated in a toaster oven.
