Cooking instruction summary:

Place the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse a few times to break them up.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or silicone baking sheet.In a medium bowl, combine diced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar, flour, and crystalized ginger. On a generously floured surface, roll the dough out into a large circle about 1/4 inch thick. Use a 3-inch 4-inch round cutter to cut dough into rounds. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of apple mixture onto half of the circles. Brush edges lightly with the egg wash and then top with the other half of the dough circles and gently press to seal. Use the back of a fork to press a decorative edge around the pies. Cut vents into the top of each pie.Brush tops of hand pies with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake until crust is slightly golden and filling is just starting to bubble through the vents. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
