Kanelsnegle (cinnamon snails/rolls) are one of the best pastries in existence, and apple and cinnamon are iconic fall flavors, so how could you go wrong with a combo of the two? This recipe is for apple cinnamon rolls, and honestly, you have to try them.
Over the past few years, we have done our very best to share with you as many of the Danish classics as possible. These include cakes like drømmekage and brunsviger, pastries like kanelsnegle and tebirkes, and even savory dishes like smørrebrød.

It’s mid-May, which means summer is almost here. In the UK, the weather is warming up and the sun is starting to show itself a little more frequently.
Wienerbrød is what we call Danish pastries in Denmark, which translates to “Vienna bread.” This is because Austrian bakers were actually the first to bring these techniques to Denmark.
