Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Roll out the croissant dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
3
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the maple syrup, powdered sugar, and salt, and mix until well combined.
4
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on either side.
5
Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the cream cheese mixture.
6
Fold the 1-inch border over the filling, pressing gently to seal. Use a sharp knife or pastry brush to create a decorative edge.
7
Place the danish on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each danish.
8
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before serving.
