Cheddar Apple Bundles Food

3-INGREDIENT CHEDDAR & APPLE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Unroll pie crust onto a clean surface. Roll the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Cut 24 2-inch circles out of the dough with a biscuit cutter, rerolling the scraps if needed. Place the dough circles in the prepared muffin cups, gently pressing the dough into the bottom and sides. Prick the dough with a fork. Bake until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add 1 teaspoon cheese to each cup, then top with 1/4 teaspoon apple butter. Bake until the cheese has melted, 3 to 5 minutes more. Let cool for 10 minutes. Top each bite with a few apple pieces, if desired.

CHEDDAR-APPLE BUNDLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Combine brown sugar and pecans; set aside. In food processor combine flour, 1/2 cup of the cheese, granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and process with one on/off turn. Add butter. Cover and process with several on/off turns until size of small peas. With processor running, slowly add water to make dough come together in a ball. Gently knead until smooth.
• Divide dough in 8 pieces. For each bundle, on floured surface roll dough in an 8-inch circle. Place 3 tablespoons cheese and 1/4 cup apple in center. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon nut mixture. Brush dough edges with water. Bring up dough edges and press together to seal. Sealed sides up, place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Bake 20-25 minutes or until pastry is golden. Spoon preserves on each bundle. Cool 20 minutes on baking sheet. Serve warm.
