by fivecutekids

Servings: 8 servings

INGREDIENTS

16 Rhodes Dinner Rolls, thawed
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling
Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine 2 rolls and roll into an 8-inch circle. Repeat with remaining rolls. Combine cream cheese, sugar and butter and mix well. Divide cream cheese mixture evenly (approx. 1 tablespoon) between circles, spreading it over half of each and leaving a 1/2 inch border. Divide pie filling evenly (approx 2 tablespoons) and spoon over cream cheese mixture. Brush border of bottom halves with water; fold top halves over filling to enclose completely. Press edges to seal with your fingertips, then crimp firmly with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees F. 20-25 minutes. Note: some filling may seep out. Combine icing ingredients and brush over cooled turnovers.
