These didn't work out so great for me. I wish I had baked a few of them to try so I could have tweaked the remainder. I didn't think there was enough filling to balance out the dough or maybe the filling would have benefited from some added cinnamon or maybe a little lemon juice to perk it up. Anyway, I love the potential these have I'll just have to play with the ingredients a bit. Loved the clear directions and the consistency of the dough. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
