Ingredients

1 package (16 oz.) hot roll mix*

2 cups pitted and halved Northwest fresh sweet cherries

1/2 cup sugar

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp grated lemon peel

1 tsp ground cinnamon

4 ounces lowfat cream cheese

1/2 tsp almond extract

3 Tbsp toasted sliced almonds

2 Tbsp milk Cinnamon Sugar (optional)

Directions

Prepare hot roll mix according to package directions.

Combine cherries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel and cinnamon.

Mix cream cheese and almond extract.

Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Flatten into 6-inch rounds.

Spoon 1/4 cup cherry mixture onto one half of each round. Top with 1 tablespoon cream cheese and 1 teaspoon almonds.

Fold dough in half and seal edges. Pierce tops with a fork to allow steam to escape. Brush with milk; sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon sugar, if desired. Bake at 350ºF about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Cinnamon Sugar: Mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Makes 1/4 cup.

Storage tip: Cool and freeze calzones in freezer-safe plastic bags or aluminum foil.

Reheat at 350ºF 12 to 15 minutes when ready to serve.
