Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier texture, consider substituting half of the oleo with butter. Ensure that your cream cheese is softened before mixing to avoid lumps. If you prefer a sweeter filling, add some sugar or honey to the nut mixture. Chill the dough for at least an hour if you find it too soft to roll out easily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze Nut And Apricot Rolls?
Yes, you can freeze these rolls. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. They will keep in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
What nuts work best for the filling?
Walnuts and pecans are excellent choices for the filling, offering a nice crunch and flavor. You can also try almonds or hazelnuts if you prefer. Toasting the nuts beforehand enhances their flavor.
