Prepare and Mix Dough

Start by heating your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of raw sugar with the honey to create a honey-sugar mix. In a larger bowl, cream together the rest of the raw sugar, that honey-sugar blend, and the butter until it’s nice and smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until everything is well combined. Next, add the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves, mixing until the dough is evenly moistened. Fold in the dried apples, persimmons, and walnuts so they’re spread throughout. Scoop out rounded tablespoons of dough and drop them onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake in batches for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden color.
