I made this for my church this weekend. One of my friends said it was elegant. It is sooooo easy to make and tastes incredible. The best recipe I've tried in a long time. I'd give it ten stars!

I was craving an almond pastry and decided to try this recipe. It was really good! In case anyone is wondering, I used the Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls as well as Fat-free Cream Cheese and they turned out great. It doesn't affect the recipe at all. I also made individual pastries instead of one large one. I would definitely suggest serving them warm so the filling is soft.

This recipe is so easy and remind me of a bakery in Pella Iowa. Made as directions say then used 1/4 cup apple butter in cream cheese and used sliced almonds on top also used 1/8 teaspoon of almond extract in egg wash. Presentation was Awesome! Thanks for a easy yet elegant looking I slaved for hours in the hot kitchen for you recipe.
