Orange-Fig Turnovers

Directions

1. 1
   Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. 2
   Combine the orange juice, figs and raisins in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until hot, about 1 minute.
3. 3
   Let sit until the dried fruit is soft, about 10 minutes.
4. 4
   Transfer 1 tablespoon of the juice to a food processor, then drain the dried fruit and add to the processor.
5. 5
   Add the honey, orange zest, lemon zest and cinnamon and pulse to make a paste.
6. 6
   Roll out 1 piece of dough into a 10-inch round on a lightly floured surface.
7. 7
   Cut out circles using a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter.
8. 8
   Drop 1 teaspoon of the dried fruit paste in the center of each circle; fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, pinching the edges together to seal.
9. 9
   Crimp the edges with a fork, then poke a few small holes in the top of each.
10. 10
    Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
11. 11
    Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheets; bake, switching the pans halfway through, until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
12. 12
    Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
13. 13
    Dust with confectioners' sugar.
