Ingredients
  

Bread:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2/3 cup warm water
  • 1 cup finely diced dried apples

Sprinkle:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Stir together the flour, baking powder,  salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves.
  • Separately,  stir together the melted  butter and warm water.
  • Combine the wet and dry mixtures.
  • Knead dough until well combined, then knead in the apple bits.
  • Divide dough  into twelve   pieces and roll  into a  "meatball" and place on silpat,  cover with plastic wrap, and let rest thirty minutes. (Resting the dough helps you  spread it out without it springing right back)
  • Stir together the sprinkle (sugar and cinnamon) in a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat oil about an inch deep  in  a skillet.
  • On silpat, press the dough ball with your hand to flatten it as much  as you can.
  • Make a hole in the very center.
  • Fry tortas in hot (but not smoking hot) oil a couple of minutes on each  side until golden, then drain on paper toweling.
  • Dredge tortas in the cinnamon sugar sprinkle while still warm.
