Nothing says happy holidays like a Christmas tree-shaped treat, and this pull-apart made up of mini crescent Danishes will be your new favorite. Each pastry gets filled with an almond-sweetened cream cheese mixture and scoop of cherry pie filling, then arranged into a tree shape before baking—no fussy dough rolling required!

Ingredients
Danish and Filling
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count) or 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet
- 2 oz (from 8-oz package) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 cup canned cherry pie filling (from 21-oz can)
Topping
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons milk
Instructions

-
Step2Using photo as a guide, arrange dough into shape of tree on cookie sheet, spacing slightly apart, and ending with one round for the base. Gently press middle of each round to create a well for topping.
-
Step3In small bowl, mix cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar and the almond extract with spoon until mixed well. Spoon 1 rounded teaspoon cream cheese mixture on center of each dough round, spreading slightly. Top each with 1 cherry. Bake 16 to 19 minutes or until golden brown and dough is baked through.
-
Step4In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of the milk, adding more as necessary for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle topping on top of crescent tree, and serve warm.
