Apple Cheesecake Danish Bars have always been a favorite of mine. Growing up, we didn’t eat them at home very often, but there always seemed to be a box full of them at the Sunday church service. Whether they were plain cheese, cherry, or apple, I was completely on board with eating these sweet treats for breakfast.
These days, I don’t often have time to make danishes from scratch, so when a craving strikes I turn to these easy Apple Cheesecake Danish Bars! They’re a cinch to make using crescent roll dough, apple pie filling, and a simple cream cheese mixture.
