2. Add some water to slightly moisten.
3. Form dough into a ball, roll out the dough to about 1/8 of an inch thick and cut into 4 inch circles. Lightly flour both sides of the circles.
TO MAKE FRUIT FILLING:
1. In a saucepan combine fruit, Splenda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
2. Heat over medium heat until hot, thoroughly mixing.
BAKING:
1. Place a large spoonful of the fruit mixture on to the center of a dough circle.
2. Place another circle on top.
3. Fasten the two circles together by pressing the edges with a fork. These may then be baked in a preheated 350 degree F oven until Golden brown. (175 degrees C)
Cooking times may vary by oven.
