Ingredients
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 (7-ounce) package dried apricots, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Combine 1 cup boiling water and apricots in a medium bowl, and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain in a colander over a bowl, reserving 2 tablespoons soaking liquid. Place apricots, reserved 2 tablespoons soaking liquid, walnuts, honey, juice, and cinnamon in a food processor; pulse until coarsely ground. Add cheese to processor; pulse 3 times or until blended.
3. Place 1 sheet pastry dough on a work surface lightly dusted with flour. Gently roll into a 12 1/2-inch square. Cut dough into 25 (2 1/2-inch) squares. Top each dough piece with about 1 teaspoon apricot mixture. Working with one dough piece at a time, bring corners up to the center and pinch closed. Place the angels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat procedure with remaining dough and apricot mixture, placing formed angels on a second baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush angels evenly with egg. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until golden.
