I have been making this treat since I can remember. My dad's German grandmother makes it, we call it almond puff pastry. Our variation has no apricots but instead is frosted (butter, powdered sugar, and almond extract) and we normally sprinkle pecans on top. I can practically make it with my eyes closed. I make it on select holidays (my dad's birthday, father's day) since it is my father's favorite desert. My dad says he has tried to make it but it never turns out for him. I have never seen or heard of anything like this from anyone else's recipes. I do have to concur, this is definitely one of the best deserts out there! Thanks - I love how easy it is, compared to how it tastes/what it looks like. It makes you look like a real pastry expert! And everyone loves it. I've actually made a butter pecan version with caramel sauce on top - shaped it into a ring and called it a kringle. Bet you'd like that version, too- PJH
