Cherry Cheese Danish Cups

I’m not big on fruity desserts, but when I get a craving, it’s normally for cherry since that’s my favorite fruit. My husband, on the other hand, loves just about any kind of fruit dessert, so as you can imagine, this recipe is a big win at our house.

These Cherry Cheese Danish Cups use store-bought dough and pie filling, making them simple to put together. They’re also bite-sized making them great for serving at parties. Feel free to switch up the fruit flavor, if cherry isn’t your favorite. Blueberry or apple would be just as delicious!
