Apricot Crescents image

When I was in college, my roommate's mother sent these flaky horns in a holiday care package. I've been making them ever since. When I mail them to my parents, I put an equal number in two tins labeled "his" and "hers" so there's no squabbling over who gets more. - Tamyra Vest, Scottsburg, Virginia

These apricot crescents were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. The pastry was flaky and the filling was flavorful. I would probably make them again, but I would use less sugar in the filling.
