Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Unfold puff pastry sheet 1 at a time and roll out to 10×10-inches. Use a pizza cutter and make 12 even strips. Connect 2 strips together by overlapping by a ½-inch and pressing together.

Twist the ribbon and then snail it around itself and press the end to the rest of the dough. Place 6 danishes per each baking sheet and press the middle down. Place 1 spoonful of apple filling in the wells.
