1. Combine butter and sugar in large bowl of electric mixer. Beat on medium speed until light, 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Slowly add to butter mixture, beating well after each addition, until incorporated. Wrap dough in wax paper and chill 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
2. To make filling, heat prunes, cherries and water to a simmer over medium heat in small saucepan. Simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in apple, lemon zest and juice. Set aside.
3. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Divide dough into fourths. Roll each piece out on floured surface to ⅛-inch thickness. Cut 2½-inch circles out of dough using cookie cutter. Wet edge of each circle with water. Drop 1 scant teaspoon filling in center of each circle. Raise three edges of circle; pinch together in center forming a triangle.
4. Place on greased baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to cooling rack; cool completely. Sprinkle each cooled cookie with confectioners' sugar.
