HONEY APPLE TURNOVERS
YIELD: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
1T - dried currants
3T finely chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon, plus additional for dusting
6 T honey, divided
2 large baking apples
2 - prepared pie dough for single-crust, purchase or homemade
Directions
In a small bowl, combine currants, walnuts and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Stir in 3 T honey.
Peel apples and cut each in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and stem. Scoop out core from each half with a melon baller, making a wide hole for filling.
Divide honey mixture evenly between apple centers.
Divide pie dough into 4 balls. Roll each ball into a 6-inch circle about 1/4-inch thick. Lay 1 piece of dough over each apple half with filling-side up. Tuck and wrap dough under each apple half. Trim dough to fit. Pinch the edges of dough underneath apples to seal entirely.
Combine IT honey with 1 tsp. hot water. Stir until honey dissolves. Brush mixture over tops of turnovers; dust with additional cinnamon.
Transfer turnovers to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375°F for about 35 minutes, until turnovers are golden.
Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining 2 T honey. Serve warm or at room temperature.
