Molasses apple turnovers
A few days ago, Alex was talking about the molasses Bear Paw cookies he loved as a kid. I was half listening, half answering Three Times a Day Facebook messages. A lot of you were asking for a recipe with apples.
I thought to myself that apples and molasses would make a perfect compote. The taste is subtle, but still very intriguing. I hope you guys enjoy it!
