A fellow home economist shared this recipe for a sweet, fruit-filled pastry. My son, who isnât 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 Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
2 cups king arthur unbleached 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:
1. 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.
2. Preheat oven to 400°. In a small bowl, combine apples and cinnamon. On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough into a 15x9-in. rectangle; cut into 3-in. squares. Place a teaspoonful of apple mixture in center of each square. Overlap two opposite corners of dough over filling; pinch tightly to seal.
3. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough and apple mixture. Bake 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks. Combine icing ingredients; drizzle over warm kolaches. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
