Recipe Ingredients

2   Cream cheese - room temperature
1 cup 198g / 7ozButter - room temperature
3 1/2 cups 218g / 7.7ozUnbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup 198g / 7ozApple butter
2/3 cup 97g / 3.4ozFinely chopped pecans

Recipe Instructions

In a large bowl cream together the cream cheese and butter. Gradually add the flour, mixing well after each addition, to form a dough.

Divide the dough in half and roll out each half on a floured surface to form a thin rectangular crust.

Spread the surface of each crust with half of the apple butter and sprinkle on half of the chopped nuts.

Starting with one of the long sides, roll as for a jelly roll, into a cylinder about 1 inch in diameter.

Repeat with the other crust.

Chill the rolls overnight.

Preheat the oven to 300F.

Using a sharp knife, cut the rolls of dough in 1/8-inch slices and bake on an ungreased baking sheet until barely brown, about 20 minutes.

Cool on wire racks.
