Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan Danish
  1. Blend the vegan cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and an optional splash of vanilla extract in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Slice the crescent roll dough along the perforations and press down in the center of each section to form a well.
  3. Brush each piece of dough with maple syrup and spoon a generous amount of the cream cheese filling into the center, adding pie filling on top.
  4. Bake for approximately 18 minutes or until golden brown, watching carefully towards the end.
  5. Allow the Vegan Danishes to cool on the tray for a few minutes, then drizzle remaining cream cheese filling on top before serving.
