Methods/Steps

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine first set of ingredients, except flour, in large, heavy saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and cook for 10 min., stirring often. Add flour and stir well.

2. Add sauce ingredients and stir well. Bring to a simmer, constantly stirring. Let cook for 10 min. longer.

3. Place 10 fl. oz. of filling in each of 12 individual baking dishes. Set aside to cool.

4. Divide dough into 12 (3-oz.) pieces. Roll dough 1⁄8-in. thick to fit baking dishes. Place rolled dough over cooked filling and crimp edges to seal. Cut three small slits
