1C dried apricots

1.5 C water

1Tbsp. cornstarch

7-10 packs sweetener ( one which can withstand baking)

1 Tbsp water

1/4 tsp lemon juice

Soak apricots in 1.5 C water for 5 minutes and then microwave 3-5 minutes. Process the mixture in a food processor until well chopped. Dissolve corn starch and sweetener in the water and lemon juice and add to apricot mixture. This mixture does not ooze out of the dough.

Pastry: Use frozen filo dough and follow the directions for filo cups, pie and tart shells on the side of the box. Keep filo dough not actually in use at the moment wrapped in plastic and a damp towel to prevent drying out. Layer 4 filo sheets, lightly spraying each with vegetable oil spray. Cut circles from filo using as SHARP a round cookie cutter as you have. Carefully remove excess around circles put a small amount of apricot spread on each circle and shape as for hamantaschen.

Bake in 375 degree oven until nicely browned- 8-12 minutes

Cookies are very fragile.
