This easy recipe is from Better Homes and Gardens - Tasty Timesaving Cooking cookbook. Tasty as is, or use some orange zest with the filling, to give it a little pizazz.

Ingredients For date-nut pastries

  • 1/2 pkg
    of a 15 oz. folded refrigerated unbaked piecrust or use unbaked crescent roll type dough
  • 1/2 can
    of a 12 oz. (1/2 cup) date cake and pastry filling
  • 1/3 to 1/2 c
    coarsely chopped pecans
  • sugar or cinnamon sugar

How To Make date-nut pastries

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly grease baking sheet.
  • 2
    Let pie crust stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Unfold piecrust, and cut crust into 8 wedges. (If using crescent roll type dough, sprinkle a little flour, on a clean flat surface. Lay down dough. And, sprinkle a little flour on, the top side of the dough. Flatten dough slightly, with a rolling pin. If rolling causes perforations to seal, take a sharp knife to cut the dough, in that area.) Spread about 1 tablespoon of the date filling, near the wide end of each wedge. If using orange peel, put it on date filling, before putting on pecans. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of chopped pecans atop the filling on each wedge. Starting at the wide end, roll up each wedge.
