INGREDIENTS:

• 1 can of refrigerated crescent rolls.
• 4 ounces cream cheese; softened
• 1 can of cherry pie filling; you will not use all of it.
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

For the Glaze:

• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tsp. milk

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine the glaze ingredients together until smooth and set aside until the danish is baked and cooled.
2. Open the package of crescent rolls, but do not separate them. Using a serrated knife, slice them into 12 equal pieces. Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, gently indent the middle of each circle so there is a space for the cream cheese to be placed inside. Arrange the crescent circles into the shape of a Christmas tree.
3. lace a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each crescent circle. Then place a small spoonful of the cherry pie filling on top.
4. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 18 - 20 minutes.
5. Let cool and drizzle with the glaze.
