Ingredients

1 Tbsp dried currants
3 Tbsp finely chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon plus additional for dusting
6 Tbsp honey divided
2 large baking apples
2 prepared pie doughs for single-crust purchased or homemade

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine currants, walnuts, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
Stir in 3 tablespoons 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 flat 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 1 tablespoon honey with 1 teaspoon 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 degrees for about 35 minutes, until turnovers are golden.
Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons honey. Serve warm or at room temperature.
