These Walnut Rugelach were most famously enjoyed in Russia and spread right around the world, especially between Jewish communities. Mini dough pastries, unlike other rugelach, are soft and crumbly, kind of like cookie dough, rolled and wrapped around a smashing filling made from apricot preserves, walnuts, dried cranberries, sugar and salt. Not too complicated and worth every bite of sugar!

To make Walnut Rugelach, you will need the following ingredients:
