Even the non-Danish do.

I made aebelskivers over the weekend. The fruit filling was made by
combining blackberries, peaches and sugar with a bit of water and a
sprinkle of cornstarch. I used the cooked fruit for the aebelskivers,
then reduced the syrup to pour over them on the plates.

Oh, boy, they were good, BUT they are a lot of work in that one is
dealing with batter, fruit, more batter, then turning the little
beauties.

I think it is better and so very much easier to make a Dutch Baby.
Mix, pour into a heated pan, then 20 minutes later remove a
spectacularly poofed dish from the oven. Serve with cooked fruit,
syrup or lemon juice and powdered sugar. Just as tasty.

But I have to use that aebelskiver pan a few times a year to justify
its existence.
