3

oz cream cheese, softened

1

tablespoon sugar

1

tablespoon milk

2

                        cups Original Bisquick™ mix

1/4

tablespoons sugar

2/3

cup milk

Preparation

Heat oven to 450°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.

In small bowl, stir cream cheese, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth; set aside. In large bowl, stir Bisquick mix, 1/4 cup softened butter and 2 tablespoons sugar until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in 2/3 cup milk until stiff dough forms.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Make a shallow well in center of each with fingers and back of spoon. Fill each well with about 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture.

Cut slices of apple and pear in half widthwise; fan 3 half-slices over top of each Danish (2 apple, 1 pear or vice-versa). Combine 1 tablespoon melted butter and the honey; lightly brush on fruit slices.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon; serve warm.
