Cheese Blintzes with Apples, Strawberry & Georgia Pecans

  • Yields 6 Small Servings

Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 13-oz. package frozen cheese blintzes
    • 1 apple, preferably Pink Lady or Jonagold, cored and thinly sliced
    • 1/2 cup chopped Georgia pecans
    • 2.5-oz. strawberry sorbet popsicle (such as Cascadian Farm)
    • Strawberries to garnish (optional)

Directions

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter; add blintzes and cook over medium-low heat, turning, until golden and hot, 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in other skillet, melt remaining tablespoon butter. Add apple slices and cook over medium heat to soften slightly. Add pecans and cook 5 minutes.

Break up sorbet and add to apple mixture. Increase heat to medium-high so mixture simmers and sorbet is reduced to rosy syrup that coats apples and pecans. Serve over warm blintzes. Garnish, if desired, fresh strawberries.
