INGREDIENTS
| 1‑1/4 | cups chopped apples |
| 1/2 | cup dried cranberries |
| 1/2 | cup reduced-fat sour cream |
| 1/4 | cup cholesterol-free egg substitute |
| 1/4 | cup (1/2 stick) margarine or butter, melted |
| 3 | tablespoons sugar, divided |
| 1 | package quick-rise active dry yeast |
| 1 | teaspoon vanilla |
| 2 | cups all-purpose flour |
| 1 | teaspoon ground cinnamon |
| 1 | tablespoon reduced-fat (2%) milk |
PREPARATION:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place apples and cranberries in food processor or blender; process with on/off pulsing action until finely chopped. Set aside.
- Combine sour cream, egg substitute, margarine and 2 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl. Add yeast and vanilla. Add flour; stir to form ball. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface. Knead 1 minute. Cover with plastic wrap; let stand 10 minutes.
- Divide dough into thirds. Roll one portion into 12-inch circle. Spread with 1/3 apple mixture (about 1/4 cup). Cut dough to make 8 wedges. Roll up each wedge, beginning at outside edge. Place on prepared baking sheet; turn ends of cookies to form crescents. Repeat with remaining dough and apple mixture.
- Combine remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Lightly brush cookies with milk; sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
