Semi-homemade Sweet & Cheesy Pockets

I rarely have time to create new recipes or the money to waste on experimenting.  So "semi-homemade" helps me save my precious time and it's fun to play in the kitchen when you have $10 and an hour to spare.  I promise I can get down making food from scratch but who has time when there are such good morning talk shows (Anderson and Bethenny were so good today - Oh and Ricki Lake is coming back!!!) and bad reality TV (Teen Mom, oh my - last season)!  I am shaping up to be the awesomest stay at home Mom!  Summer starts tomorrow, I am so excited!  

Disclaimer: This recipe is loosely (very loosely) inspired by Southern California's Famous Porto's Bakery Guava Cheese Rolls.  My recipe isn't intended as a copycat recipe.   


Semi-homemade Sweet & Cheesy Pockets Ingredients
1 Tube Crescent Rolls
8 Tablespoons Trader Joe's Honey Apple Butter (or any flavored butter, jam or jelly)
8 Teaspoons Cream Cheese (you can use flavored cream cheese)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Separate rolls on a baking sheet
• On the wider side of each roll, place 1 tablespoon of honey apple butter and 1 teaspoon of cream cheese  
• Fold the thin, pointy tip of roll toward wide side and then fold in other edges to make it look like a cute little pocket
• Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown

This was the first time I made these and they came out really good.  My husband, 13 year old and I ate these up in 5 minutes.  I suggest letting a few of them cool for about 10 minutes, I can't decide if they tasted better fresh out of the oven or after they cooled.  I do know that I'll be experimenting with other flavor profiles.  I'm excited for strawberry jam and strawberry cream cheese pockets.
