Abstract: We prove that analogues of the Hardy-Littlewood generalised twin prime conjecture for almost primes hold on average. Our main theorem establishes an asymptotic formula for the number of integers $n=p_1{p}_{2}leqX$ such that $n+h$ is a product of exactly two primes which holds for almost all $|h|leqH$ with $lo{g}^{19+varepsilon}XleqHleq{X}^{1-varepsilon}$, under a restriction on the size of one of the prime factors of $n$ and $n+h$. Additionally, we consider correlations $n,n+h$ where $n$ is a prime and $n+h$ has exactly two prime factors, establishing an asymptotic formula which holds for almost all $|h|leqH$ with $X^{1/6+varepsilon}leqHleq{X}^{1-varepsilon}$.
