Apricot Cream Cheese Bites

Ingredients:

2 cans of Pillsbury pizza dough
2 packages of cream cheese
1 jar of Apricot Pineapple preserves
2 Tablespoons chives, chopped
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 Tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Apricot Cream Cheese Bites

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Roll the pizza dough out on the counter and cut into 3-inch squares.
• Place the dough into a greased muffin tin, position the dough in a way for the edges to lay on the top of the tin.
• Cut cream cheese into squares (about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon) and place the cream cheese into the middle of the dough.
• Bake for 12 to 17 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
• While the cups are baking, combine preserves, chives, lemon juice, chili powder, and cumin in a pan. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro.
• Remove the cups from the pans and drizzle about a teaspoon of the sauce on each cup. Best to serve it warm but is still delicious when they cool down.
