APRICOT PASTRY!

This is a great recipe for an apricot pastry!

RECIPE:

APRICOT FILLING:

12 oz. dried apricots
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups sugar

APRICOT GLAZE:

1 cup apricot juice
1 1/2 cups sugar

In a heavy saucepan, boil down the sugar until thick. Cool and refrigerate.

PASTRY DOUGH:

2 1/2 cups bisquick
1/2 cup almond milk
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons shortening (use Fleischman's light margarine or Crisco here)

Stir bisquick, almond milk, sugar and shortening. Roll out dough and divide into squares. For filling: heat apricots, water and sugar until syrupy. Spoon the apricot filling into the middle of each square. Bake at 350 until golden brown (not sure exactly for how long...you'll know when they're done though). Top with glaze (recipe for that above). Enjoy! If you find another dough that you prefer to use, you can use that.

Please note: these pastries are VERY sweet. If you prefer, skip the glaze!
