Mini Apple-Cream Cheese Pie Puffs

(From Our August 2017 Newsletter - Grandma C.)

Ingredients

• 1 pkg puff pastry squares, or if you prefer, 1 refrigerated pie crust, premade



• 1 lg. apple, peeled and diced



• 3 Tbsp melted butter



• 3 Tbsp soft cream cheese



• 2 tbsp brown sugar



• ¼ cup sugar



• ⅛ cup sugar (for separate use)



• 1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line an oblong jelly roll pan with parchment paper.

Mix together sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Add apples and toss to coat.  If using pie crust, use a pizza cutter to cut crust into 3 inch squares.

Brush each square (pastry or pie crust) with a small amount of melted butter.

Add ½ tsp cream cheese to each square.  Add 1-2 tsps of apple mixture to each square and fold over to make a triangle, pinching the sides together. (You can also press the sides together with a fork to seal.)

Brush more melted butter across the top of the pastry, then sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Poke once with a fork to vent.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving.
