Another fast-food favorite is the hot apple turnover, and you can make a wholesome version of that dessert with just about any honey-sweetened fruit. First, make enough dough—using a standard whole wheat pastry recipe—for a doublecrust pie, roll it out to a thickness of 1/8 inch, and cut the sheet into small squares (depending on the size you prefer, you can probably make 8 or 10 from a single batch of dough). Pile sweetened fruit on half of the rectangles, sprinkle a little cinnamon on top, and then cover each one with another piece of pastry. Seal each minipie's edges by pressing its seams together with a fork, and prick a few air holes in the top. Fry the fruit tarts in deep hot oil for about three minutes, then let them drain and cool slightly. Be sure to serve them up while they're nice and warm, but be careful...the spicy innards will be hot!

From the recipes I've presented here, you can see that there's no need to run down to the local fast-food eatery (where what you get usually amounts to an overpriced dose of chemicals) every time the urge for a little edible self-indulgence hits. You can satisfy your cravings with better eats at home . . . spending a lot less money and swallowing fewer "mystery" additives. So the next time someone in your household comes down with a case of the munchies, don't take off for the nearest burger, chicken, or taco stand . . . head for your own kitchen instead!
