Pastries as pretty as these make any gathering special. I like to bake them a day in advance because they do take some time to prepare-but guests agree they-re worth it!

I tried this recipe and the kolaches turned out great! The dough was a little sticky, but I just added a little more flour and it worked out fine. The apricot filling was also delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

These apricot kolaches were a hit with my family! The dough was light and fluffy, and the apricot filling was sweet and tangy. I especially loved the glaze on top, which added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making these again.
