Servings: 5
Ingredients:
1 (8-ounce) package chopped dates
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup butter or stick margarine
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup apricot-flavored baby food
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
cooking spray
Directions:
1. Combine dates and water in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat, and cool.
2. Beat butter at medium speed of a mixer until light and fluffy; add sugar, and beat well. Add baby food and egg; beat well.
3. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; gradually add to butter mixture. Shape dough into a ball. Place dough on a lightly floured surface, and roll into an 18- x 8- inch rectangle. Spread Date Filling over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch margin on sides. Beginning at 1 long edge, roll up dough tightly, jelly-roll fashion; pinch seam to seal. Cut roll in half, and wrap rolls in wax paper; freeze 3 hours or chill 8 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 350°.
5. Unwrap rolls; cut each roll into 30 (3/8- inch) slices. Place slices on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 13 minutes or just until lightly browned.
