These were great! I ended up having to use apricot jam because I couldn't find the filling at the multiple stores that I tried. Sent them to work with my husband & they were a huge hit, but I will probably never make these again. I found them very difficult to make because the dough was very flaky & fell apart the minute I tried to transfer from counter to pan.

These will also work well with any kind of Canned filling including home made Crabapple filling adjusting the sugar to your taste.

These are heavenly! This is a special occasion cookie; it takes time to prepare, and the cans of filling needed are a bit costly, but I recommend using the filling and not substituting with apricot preserves. The filling is thicker and has less liquid in it, which holds the layers together better. I substituted butter for the shortening---I don't like shortening and never use it. The dough is soft, so it takes some care to handle. I did have a problem with not having enough dough for the top crust; I had to patch here and there with the trimmings, and placing the top crust was a challenge. I was concerned that the top crust would not look smooth and even, but it did bake out remarkably well. The baked pastry is soft, similar to a newton cookie, but it does cut very nicely. My family loved these, so this recipe will go into my "keeper" file.
