Yes, I do have a recipe for an Apple Danish Braid that I would be happy to share with you! Here are the ingredients you will need:

- 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp water
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to the package instructions.

3. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle about 12x16 inches.

5. Spread the sugar and spice mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving about 1 inch around the edges.

6. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on top of the sugar mixture, leaving about 1 inch around the edges.

7. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts (if using) over the apples.

8. Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart on both sides of the puff pastry, leaving about 1 inch in the middle uncut.

9. Fold the top and bottom edges of the puff pastry over the filling, then start weaving the strips of dough over the filling, alternating from side to side.

10. In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water. Brush the egg wash over the top of the braid.

11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.

12. Allow the braid to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Apple Danish Braid!
