Submitted by MarieRynr

"These are delicious squares. The cheese pastry goes very well with the sweetness of the apple jelly. This is a very old recipe that I got back in the 1970's"

I loved the idea of being able to use up the extra apple jelly I had from another recipe! These are delicious and a nice mix of apple and cheese flavors. The crust is like a shortbread and so-o-o rich. I didn't have Velveeta so I used 8 oz of cream cheese with 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese with the butter and flour. This is a very nice recipe. Carole in Orlando
