The honey-citrus notes of dried apricots enhance the frozen peaches in this baked version of the classic fried pie. Ingredients:
1/2 cup diced dried apricots |
1/4 cup granulated sugar |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 (16-ounce) bag frozen sliced peaches, thawed, chopped, and drained |
1 1/2 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon brandy |
2 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch |
12 sweet cream cheese dough circles |
1 cup sifted powdered sugar |
2 tablespoons 2% reduced-fat milk |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. To prepare pies, combine first 6 ingredients in a medium saucepan; cook over medium heat 8 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Remove from heat. Add butter, stirring until butter melts. Stir in brandy and cornstarch. Cool slightly.
2. Working with 1 Sweet Cream Cheese Dough circle at a time, remove plastic wrap from dough. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons peach mixture into center of circle. Fold dough over filling; press edges together with a fork or fingers to seal. Place pie on a large baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Repeat procedure with remaining Sweet Cream Cheese Dough circles and remaining peach mixture. Freeze 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 425°.
4. Remove pies from freezer. Pierce top of each pie once with a fork. Place baking sheet on bottom rack in oven. Bake at 425° for 18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and filling is bubbly. Cool completely on a wire rack.
5. To prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, stirring well. Drizzle evenly over pies.
