Dear Friends,
Despite the reality of sadness that does exist in this very moment, I’m glad to be alive and well. Six days ago, I lost the physical presence of my beloved, Dada. A great man, that truly loved his family and honored the Lord. My Dada, served God by being of service to others. He was remarkable in every way and I’m honored to have spent 37 years with him. 🤍✨🕊️
He had a true passion for making delicious food for his family to eat and now that’s he’s gone, it’s dawned upon me that he must’ve passed his love for cooking & baking down to me.
It’s no surprise that despite today’s circumstances, I was able to find inspiration in a few apples lying across the kitchen counter top, this morning.
I made apple turnovers for my family to enjoy because we all needed something sweet to eat and a sense of peace and comfort.
I used a few Honey-crisp apples, fresh cranberries and golden raisins for the filling. Cinnamon, all spice and vanilla extract helped round out the flavors.
This little project took about 45 minutes total from sorting and preparing the ingredients to baking and letting them cool before digging in.
The recipe can be found over on the Sally’s Baking Addiction website. It’s such a simple recipe and will adapt well to many seasonal variations.
If you find yourself baking a batch of delicious turnovers, I’d love to hear all about them.
I hope you’re having a wonderful week and happy baking!
Sincerely,
River
