Anyone?? No ideas??

I know my grandma make some kind of filled cookie, but she still cuts circles with a glass, over lays and uses fork to crimp, I've tried to get her to use this and she said she's used to the "old" way.

Please give me some ideas of this customer.

I had a host that served tuna salad sandwiches in these (people were actually amazed and LOVED it!). I never thought of creating some desserts in them. I'd also like some recipes.
 
I did a quick search on CC under the Recipes- entering "seal" as the Specific tool. Below are the 3 dessert recipes it kicked back. If you search ALL the recipes (not just desserts), it gives a few more that are appetizers, etc.



Apple Cranberry Tarts
Ingredients:
1 cup apple pie filling
1/2 teaspoon Pantry Korintje Cinnamon, divided
3 tablespoons dried cranberries

1 package (15 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1 tablespoons sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Place pie filling in Small Batter Bowl. Run a knife through pie filling to chop apples. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and dried cranberries.
2. Place both pie crusts side by side on lightly floured Cutting Board. Cut 7 circles in each crust using lightly floured Cut-N-Seal™. Using Medium Scoop, place 1 scoop (2 tablespoons) pie filling mixture in center of 7 circles, spreading slightly. Top with remaining circles. Seal using lightly floured Cut-N-Seal™.
3. Brush tops of tarts with melted butter. Place on flat Baking Stone. Combine sugar and remaining cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over tarts. Bake 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.

Yield: 7 tarts

Cook’s Tips: Substitute 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for the Pantry Korintje Cinnamon.
