NEW MEXICO FRUIT EMPANADAS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- For the dough: Mix the flour oil, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar. Add just enough water to make the dough silky. Roll the dough out 1/8-inch thick and cut with a 4-inch cookie cutter.
- For the fruit: Mash the fruit with the sugar, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Spoon 2 tablespoons of fruit on one half of a circle of dough, then fold it over to look like a half-moon. Pinch the edges with a fork to seal.
- Bake until brown, about 15 minutes, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Steps:
- Whisk the flour, kosher salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl,

- Add 1 egg, sugar, vanilla extract and 4 tablespoons of water.
- With your clean hands knead the mixture a few times in the bowl just until you can gather the dough together.
- Transfer the dough to a clean surface and continue to knead the dough adding two tablespoons of water at a time (about 8 to 10 tablespoons total). Note: The dough is ready when it no longer sticks to the counter and it does not look dry.
- Continue to knead about 3 to 5 minutes; then form dough into a disk, wrap with plastic, and chill for at least 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

HONEY-ROASTED NUTS AND FRUIT
Tasty snack from Cooking Light that provides a concentrated source of carbohydrates from the raisins, along with protein and "good" fats from the nuts. Feel free to substitute nuts and fruit according to your preference, or what you have on hand. I don't care for raisins, so I used craisins (dried cranberries) ; I found I was out of slivered almonds, so I substituted some chopped macadamias. I especially loved the addition of cardamom--added an unexpected element.
