I thought it was good. I used French Vanilla cake mix and added xtra vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg like other readers. I think the flavor of cake made it too sweet. Next time I won't use Fr.Vanilla. I think that was the problem. I also used raspberry jam, I think preserves would be better but I couldn't find any that were seedless, hence the jam.

I used apple pie filling instead of apricots. Used low fat sour cream. Skipped the almonds. Rave reviews.

I made this but I don't like apricots so I used a bag of frozen berries. Cooked them with a 1/2 cup sugar then thickened as I would for a pie with cornstarch. After putting the cream cheese dollops I put this on top. Very good.

Just made this tonight for the first time. I don't like to serve something new to people unless I taste it first. I have a breakfast/meeting to bring it to tomorrow. I cut it into squares and tasted one......WOW! I must say that it tasted like it came from a bakery! I plan on making this over and over again. I did make a change that another reader suggested. Instead of using apricot halves I used apricot preserves on top of the cream cheese mixture. Next time I may try a different preserve such as peach. I love this recipe!

My family wasn't crazy about this. It's a lot of fat (but so is most anything really delicious!) and the sum of the ingredients is pretty expensive for the result. I will continue to search for a Danish recipe; thank you nonetheless for sharing your recipe!

Very moist and very delicious. Resign yourself to buying two cans of apricots because one will not have enough halves in it. I wondered if it would look better with the rounded side of the apricot up, so I did a few that way and learned that with the cut side up they catch some of the crumb topping and that's better. If leftovers are kept in a closed container the almonds will get a little soft, but it still has a great taste. Definitely mix the powdered sugar with some apricot juice for more flavor, and put the glaze in a small plastic bag with a tiny bit of one corner cut off for easier drizzling.

Wonderful recipe!!! I had to slice several of the apricot halves in order to fill all fifteen wells. The can I purchased did not have fifteen halves. The slivered almonds with the confectioners sugar drizzled on them made a beautiful presentation.

IT'S A HIT! I made this to take to the office for a Friday morning pick me up and everyone raved about it. I used a yellow cake mix (didn't have white on hand) and I used raspberry preserves instead of the apricot halves. I also used a knife and swirled it just a bit before I put the topping on. With the red preserves swirled on top it looked and tasted great!

Great recipe. I did make some changes due to not having all the necessary ingredients. I used 1/2 sour cream and 1/2 plain yogert. I also added a little cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla to the cake ( covers the box cake taste) I did not have apricots, so I mixed Knotts apricot preserves 1/2 c into the creamcheese mix until smooth(used a hand mixer) then just spread this mixture over the cake batter, ramdomly dropped some extra preserves over it, topped it with the crumble, i added flour to get more crumble, and baked as directed... It was very yummy and I have requests for a raspberry one and a lemon one. Thanks for the recipe!

Thumbs up from the whole family on this one, however would probably make changes if I made it again. I too only had 14 halves in my can, so I used half of a fresh peach in the last spot. The cake was good, and my younger kids prefered that, to the fruit and cream cheese part. However, the rest of us agreed that the cream cheese needs something more, not necessarily sweetened, but maybe some flavoring. Also, would probably try and swirl it through rather than dropping my the spoonful and would dice fruit and add spread that out too. I did use the juice from the apricots, instead of water, for the glaze.

Wow big servings. This was fun to make. I bought 2 small cans of apricots due to other reviewers not having enough. I will definitely make this again but making more smaller squares and cutting the apricots in half and trying with other fruits. Thank you.

This so SOOOOOOOO good. The can of apricots only had 12 halves, so I adjusted the number of wells. Will try with cheery, apple, pie filling. Great grab-and-go breakfast.

This was the easiest and best homemade danish/coffecake I've ever tasted. I did add 1/4 C add'l flour w/the 1 tbl of 10X sugar to stretch the topping along w/using the drained apricot syrup + a dash of milk for the glaze instead of the water. It WOWed everyone in the office and had everyone coming back for 3rds. Thank you - keep these special "easy" treats a coming!

This is by far the best cake recipe that I have ever made. I've made this many times for friends and each time everyone wants the recipe. It's fairly easy to make and sooooo verrrry good. WOW! Hint! If your can of apricots doesn't have enough apricots in it... just cut a couple in half... If you really want to treat yourself and your family, you need to try this!!!! Five stars plus!

This was very pretty and tasty. My can of apricots only had 14 too, so it was fun to try to avoid getting that one cream cheese Danish! Instead of using water for the glaze, I used the yummy syrup from the can. It gave the whole cake an extra apricot boost!!

I used a yellow cake mix and the coffee cake was delicious. I made more of the crumb topping by adding 1/4 cup of flour and a tablespoon of confectioners sugar to the cake mix/butter/almond mixture. It tasted just fine and stretched the crumb topping so it covered all of the cake. This cake is rich, with gobs of calories and fat, but once in a while it is worth it. My brunch guests loved it. It is definitely a keeper.

If there were 6 stars I would rate it that. This was a wonderful danish to have while enjoying Christmas morning. My mom even took a picture of it because it came out so pretty looking. She could not believe that it started from a mix. The taste was fantastic. Everybody in the family enjoyed it. Thanks so much. This will become one of my favorite recipes!!!
