Provided by Taste of Home

Categories     Desserts

Time 15m

Yield 5-6 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups finely chopped dried apricots
2-1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1-1/4 cups chopped walnuts
Confectioners' sugar

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, ripe apricots and good-quality brandy are essential.
  • If you don't have time to make the apricot filling ahead of time, you can use store-bought apricot preserves. Just be sure to use a good-quality brand that is made with real apricots.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and will help prevent the balls from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. If the dough is too thick, the balls will be too dense. If the dough is too thin, the balls will be too fragile.
  • Cut the dough into circles using a 2-inch cookie cutter. If you don't have a cookie cutter, you can use a sharp knife to cut the dough into squares or triangles.
  • Place a dollop of apricot filling in the center of each dough circle. Be careful not to overfill the balls, or they will burst open in the oven.
  • Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Make sure the balls are sealed tightly, or the filling will leak out.
  • Bake the balls at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Let the balls cool completely before coating them in powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

Apricot brandy balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple dough that is filled with a sweet and tangy apricot filling. The balls are then baked until they are golden brown and coated in powdered sugar. Apricot brandy balls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
