Imagine biting into a warm, flaky pastry bursting with gooey, sweet maple pecan filling. This delectable Danish treat is the perfect companion to a morning coffee or tea, bringing a touch of luxury to your brunch spread. Not only will it impress your taste buds, but it will also make your home smell like a bakery. Dive into this comforting pastry that is both buttery and satisfyingly nutty.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pecans, maple syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into four squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the pecan filling in the center of each square.
Fold each corner of the pastry square over the filling to the center to form a diamond shape. Pinch slightly to seal.
Brush the tops of the pastries with beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with a small amount of milk to reach drizzling consistency. Drizzle over the cooling pastries.
Enjoy your fresh Maple Pecan Danish warm from the oven!
