Ingredients

Dough Mix:

2 cups unbleached flour

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cooking oil

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon sugar

Fruit Mixture:

2 cups fresh or canned fruit

1/2 cup brown sugar or fructose

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Cinnamon sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

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.
