Apple/Raisin Cream Cheese Puffs



A delicious treat during apple season. I used a biscuit recipe for the dough and am happy with the results. Best served warm.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • Buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup icing sugar
  • 1 cup shredded apple, approx 1 large
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 
Method:
  1. Pulse dry ingredients in food processor.
  2. Add butter and pulse a few more times till butter is pea size.
  3. Crack eggs into a measuring cup and add buttermilk to fill 1 cup. 
  4. Add to processor and pulse a few times till dough comes together.
  5. Dump dough onto a well floured surface and gather into a ball.
  6. On a floured surface, roll out large enough to cut 22 rounds, using a 3" round cutter.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth.
  8. In a another bowl, mix shredded apple, and raisins.
  9. Place 11 biscuit rounds on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
  10. Spread cream cheese mixture on each biscuit, leaving space at the edges.
  11. Top each one with apple mixture and place another round on each one, pressing down the edges to seal.
  12. Bake in a 350ยบ oven for 22 minutes.
  13. Drizzle with glaze while still warm
Glaze:
  • 3/4 cup icing sugar
