cooking tips

These are easier than apple pie!  .
 
What Yo Will Need

  
1 Tbs   dried currants  
3 Tbs   finely chopped walnuts  
1/2 tsp   ground cinnamon, plus additional for dusting  
6 Tbs   honey, divided  
2 large baking apples  
Prepared pie dough for two single-crust 9-inch pies (purchased or homemade)  
  
 
 
In a small bowl, combine currants, walnuts and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Stir in 3 Tbsp. honey.
Peel apples and cut each in half lengthwise.
Trim away stem and blossom ends. 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 around each apple half. Trim dough to fit. Pinch the edges of dough underneath apples to seal entirely.
Combine 1 Tbsp. honey with 1 tsp. steaming 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 art golden.
Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp. honey.


Serve warm or at room temperature.
