These cute little pastries are so yummy! I'm tempted to hoard them for myself when I make a batch, but I always end up sharing. —Merrill Powers, Spearville, Kansas

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 Imperial Sugar® / Dixie Crystals® Granulated Sugar

•1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

•Additional Imperial Sugar® / Dixie Crystals® Granulated 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.

• Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Serve with ice cream. Yield: 2 dozen.
