Apricot Cheese Danish
- 1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (110 to 115)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Filling
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup apricot preserves
- confectioners' sugar
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add eggs, butter, sour cream and sugar. Gradually add 2 cups flour and salt; beat until smooth. Stir in remaining flour (dough will be soft and sticky). Place in a greased bowl. Cover; refrigerate overnight.
- For filling, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla in a mixing bowl until smooth. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead two to three times. Divide in half. Roll each half into a 16 x 10 inch oval and place on greased baking sheets. Spread 1 1/4 cups filling over each oval to within 1 inch of edges. Fold longest side over filling; pinch edges to seal. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Bake at 375 for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Spread preserves on top. Dust with confectioners sugar. Store in the refrigerator.
