Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 egg, separated
  • 3 tablespoons cold water, divided
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 7 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Additional sugar, optional
  • Vanilla ice cream

Directions

  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Refrigerate the egg white. Beat egg yolk and 2 tablespoons water into cream cheese mixture. Gradually add flour until well blended. Shape pastry into a ball. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, combine the apples, sugar and cinnamon. Cover and cook over low heat for 8-10 minutes or until apples are tender. Remove from the heat.
  • Turn the pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Roll to 1/8-in. thickness; cut into 4-in. circles. Top each circle with apple mixture. Brush edges of pastry with water; fold pastry over filling and seal edges well.
  • In a small bowl, whisk egg white and remaining water; brush over pastry. Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired.

These are fantastic...I did have a hard time rolling the dough out, I used 10X sugar instead of more flour to keep the dough light..I also cooked the apples to soften them up so that it would not break the dough when wrapping around it. I was told that it was the best all my friends have ever tasted...the dough is the same as rugulah cookie dough..if someone can tell me how to work the dough an easier way please do...thanks for the recipe...

Very good, but with one change - frosting. I sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on top before baking and put a vanilla glaze on after baking. Delicious.
