VERY SIMPLE FRUIT FILLED KOLACHES

This is very simple to make. Time does not include standing time. I don't know the size of fruit pie filling, so I just guessed. I don't usually measure out my frosting ingredients, so this is just a guess. Feel free to adjust it.

Time 45m

Yield 24 kolaches

Number Of Ingredients 4

48 ounces frozen sweet roll dough
20 ounces pie filling, your choice of flavor
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons milk

Steps:

  • Divide the dough into 24 balls. Flatten each ball to about 3 1/2 inches round. Spoon some pie filling onto the center of each.
  • Fold two opposite edges of dough over the filling, pinching together, but leaving the ends opened. Place on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover rolls and bake them 10-15 minutes, until golden. Place each kolache on a wire rack over a paper towel (or something you can throw away as it will get messy) to cool.
  • Mix sugar and milk and drizzle on warm kolaches.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor. If using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
  • For a sweeter filling, add some sugar or honey to taste. You can also use a flavored jam or jelly.
  • If you want a thicker filling, add a cornstarch slurry. Mix together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Stir this mixture into the filling and cook over medium heat until thickened.
  • Don't overfill the kolaches. Leave some room for the filling to expand as it bakes.
  • Brush the tops of the kolaches with an egg wash before baking. This will give them a golden brown color.
  • Serve the kolaches warm or at room temperature. They're also delicious the next day.

Conclusion:

Fruit-filled kolaches are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a kolache that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give fruit-filled kolaches a try.
