Quick Treats




One of my co-workers, Kelly, told me about this quick tasty treat that she makes for her family. It only has 5 ingredients most you probably already have. Now I'm silly and didn't ask what this was called but it reminds me of rugelach.

Cast of Characters:
1 pie crust - either homemade or refrigerated (not frozen)
cinnamon (approximately 2 tablespoons)
sugar (approximately 2 tablespoons)
jam (I used seedless blackberry but any would do)
chopped nuts (I used pecans because I love them!)

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. I lined my baking sheet with parchment because I'm lazy and don't want to wash dishes. On a clean surface, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar about the size of a pie crust and then press your pie crust into the cinnamon sugar. Spread a thin layer of jam on the pie crust and sprinkle the nuts over the jam. Now roll that pie crust up! Place it on the cookie sheet and bake f0r 12 - 14 minutes. At least until golden. Let cool (if you can resist) and then cut into pieces. I think I got 12 pieces out of the one I made.

Enjoy!

just made 2 of these today and they are so easy to make and VERY tasty!!! especially if you are the type of person that likes pie crust! I made one with the last of my cherry jelly...it could have used a bit more...but I was out :( The other was made with a jam given to me as a gift...without a lable so I don't know what kind...I'm thinking it sand plum. They were both so yummy!!! Now if I can't just keep from eating them all by myself before anyone else gets home!!
