We love Texas kolaches as much for their soft pastry as for the variety of sweet fillings. Click here for a strawberry kolache recipe.

Instructions

Step 1

Combine the apricots and 3⁄4 cup water in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the water is evaporated and apricots are plump. Add the sugar, lemon juice, and 1⁄4 cup water, and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, 8-10 minutes; remove pan from heat and let cool. Spoon about 1 tbsp. filling into each kolache before baking.
