1

Mix apricot jam and mustard. Mix cream cheese and apricots.
2

Spread jam mixture on one side of 8 slices cinnamon bread and 8 slices wheat bread. Place turkey on cinnamon bread; add wheat bread with spread sides down.
3

Spread cream cheese mixture on remaining 8 slices cinnamon bread. Place cinnamon bread, cream cheese sides down, on sandwich stacks. Cut each sandwich diagonally into fourths to make 4 triangular sandwiches.

Go ahead and try dried cranberries or cherries instead of the apricots.
For a tidy stack, be sure the breads are similar in size. They'll stack evenly and can be cut into uniform triangles.
Add a bit of green to these sandwiches by tucking in watercress, mâche, romaine or oakleaf lettuce leaves.
