Ingredients
FOR THE DOUGH
- ½ cup + 1 tablespoon cream cheese (whole brick form not tub softened) (125 grams total)
- ½ cup + 1 tablespoon butter (salted and softened) (125 grams total)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup pastry/cake flour
FOR THE FILLING
- ½ cup nut (walnut, hazelnuts or pecans toasted)*
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¾-1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅓ cup apricot jam
*If you don't have a food processor or blender then you can use finely chopped nuts.
EXTRAS
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2-3 tablespoons granulated or turbinado sugar
Instructions
- In a pre-heated 350F (180C) oven toast the nuts. Place the nuts on a cookie sheet and bake for approximately 5-8 minutes. Move them immediately to a clean bowl to cool completely. Don't let them cool on the sheet or they will continue to bake.
- In the mixing bowl add the cream cheese and butter and cream on medium speed until light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes, add the sugar and beat to combine, then sift in the flours and mix on low just to combine.
- Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface, form into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate for 1 hour.
- While the dough is chilling make the filling. In a food processor or blender add the nuts, sugars and cinnamon and blend or pulse until finely chopped. Set aside.
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and roll on a floured flat surface into a 10 inch (25 cm) circle. Spread the apricot jam on top and sprinkle the nut mixture on top of the jam, spreading evenly.
- Cut the circle into 8 wedges, roll each wedge up from the large end and shape into a crescent. Place the crescents on the prepared cookie sheet. Brush with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake until golden brown, approximately 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on the cookie sheet then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
