Apple Danish with Lemon and Lavender

My sister in law has introduced me to culinary lavender.  She gave me some from a lavender field in Delaware near where she lives.  I have put it on ice cream, added it to chicken dishes, made scones but I think my favorite is adding it to this apple danish.   Typically I will measure most ingredients in a recipe but not always.  I will zest one lemon and it is what it is, I don't bother measuring out a tablespoon.  Sometimes I peel the apples, sometimes I don't.  As for the lavender I just sprinkle a little on top before I close up the pastry.  The addition is very subtle but it enhances the overall flavor without over powering the harmony between the apples and lemon.  Using lavender is honestly worth a try.
