Air Fryer Cherry Almond Danish
This homemade cherry danish pastry starts with flaky Pillsbury Grand’s biscuits, a generous spoonful of cherry pie filling, and a hint of almond that makes it taste bakery-fresh in minutes. It’s a quick and easy cherry almond danish you can make as a simple weeknight treat, part of your air fryer breakfast ideas, or even one of your go-to Christmas desserts or Thanksgiving sweets.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 ounces refrigerated butter-flavor biscuits
- 28 ounces cherry pie filling
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk or less
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Split the biscuits in half to make 16 rounds.
- Line the Air Fryer basket or tray with parchment paper and place the biscuits in a single layer (as many as will fit without squishing).
- Spoon a little cherry pie filling on each round. Not so much that it spills over the edges.
- Cook pastries in batches at 390ºF for about 5-6 minutes or until the biscuits start to brown.
- While the danishes are cooling, make the almond glaze by combining powdered sugar, half of the milk, and almond extract in a small bowl. Whisk until the powdered sugar is all dissolved. Use less milk for a thicker glaze or slightly more for a thinner glaze.
- Drizzle the almond glaze over the cherry danishes. Can be served warm or cooled completely and served at room temperature.
Notes
Cooking times will vary according to your particular air fryer.
