HG Alternative: If you can't find Recipe Creations dough, go for refrigerated crescent roll dough. Then firmly pinch/seal up the perforations for a seamless sheet.

HG Tip: If you're not eating/serving these immediately, store the baked dough cups at room temperature in a sealed bag or container, and store the filling in a sealed container in the fridge.
