Apple Danish with Crescent Roll Dough

  5.0 – 1 reviews  • Danish

With the addition of chocolate chips, this chocolate pecan pie is prepared similarly to a classic pecan pie. Every piece of the pie becomes rich and chocolaty as the chips melt while baking. At our family’s Thanksgiving meal, it is always the first dessert to disappear! Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
