Viva Les Galettes

Avery and Carrie picked this out of Avery's Southern Living Kids Cookbook to make for the lunch after Ava's baby blessing.  Everyone liked it, other than Avery, that is!  We used blackberries instead of the oranges and we had more than enough fruit!  You could use any fruit you wanted, I'm sure.  And so we can all remember how to say it: gah-LEHT.

Viva Les Galettes
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 (12 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (15 oz) pkg refrigerated pie crusts
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 T. sugar
2/3 c. peach fruit spread
8 strawberries, sliced
2 kiwi, peeled, sliced, and halved
1 c. blueberries
1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges

1. Preheat oven to 375.  Line 2 baking sheets with foil, and spray generously with cooking spray.  Set aside.
2. Beat cream cheese at medium speed with in electric mixer until creamy.  Gradually add milk, beating until smooth.  Set aside.
3. Unroll pie crusts, and then roll into 13-inch circles on prepared baking sheets (I'm pretty sure Carrie skipped the extra rolling part - they're already round, right?).  Spread half of cream cheese mixture on top of each circle, leaving a 1 1/2 inch border.  Fold edges of dough toward center, pressing gently to seal (Dough will cover only the outside edge).
Brush edges of galettes with egg white and sprinkle with sugar.  Bake for 23 minutes or until filling is set and pastry is lightly browned.  Carefully slide galettes to a wire rack and cool completely.
4. Place fruit spread in a small microwave-safe bowl.  Microwave on High for 30-40 seconds until melted.  Brush over cream cheese filling.  Top with fruit.  Chill in refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
Makes 12 servings
