A fellow home economist shared this recipe for a sweet, fruit-filled pastry. My son, who isn’t a dessert fan, was disappointed when he came home to find his dad had polished off the last kolache in the batch.—Ann Johnson, Evansville, Indiana

Apple Kolaches Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min.

Yield: 30 Servings

30 10 40

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups finely chopped peeled apples
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
ICING:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
4-1/2 teaspoons 2% milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour and mix well. Divide dough into two portions; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
In a small bowl, combine apples and cinnamon. On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough into a 15–in. x 9–in. rectangle; cut into 3-in. squares. Place a teaspoonful of apple mixture in the center of each square. Overlap two opposite corners of dough over filling; pinch tightly to seal.
Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough and apple mixture. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks. Combine the icing ingredients; drizzle over warm kolaches. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.

This is AWESOME. Made it as a "trial" tonight for Thanksgiving, and it will be on the menu for sure! One question I have is: How far in advance can I make it? Can I make it Sunday night and freeze it til Thur? Thanks for any feedback, and thanks for the recipe!!

22 Oct 2012: Made this recipe last night. Took my first bite, and I thought I was eating a little piece of Heaven...absolutely delicious. I used "Honeycrisp" apples. You must make this as soon as possible!

These were the bomb! I wish I had made more. So delicious, and soft and gooey on the inside. My mouth is watering just thinking about it again!

Oh WOW, are these good. I put powder sugar on then instead of the frosting. I also used so strawberry jam for half, because my daughter loves strawberries.

MMMM. MMMMMM. MMMMMM! These were, just wow yummy. So moist, and using the homemade dough makes it phenomenal. We ate ours shortly after setting them on the rack. Their centers were so warm and, oh, just so good! Wish I could have made the whole recipe instead of just half.
