Apple Kolaches

Apple Kolaches
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
30 ServingsPrep: 30 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min.

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.
