Q: How Do I Restore a Folder &SubFolders Using Time Machine (TM)?

I need to restore a folder, and all of its files and subfolders, with the latest version of everything as of a specific date. 


I am running Yosemite (10.10.5), and plan to upgrade to El Capitan shortly.


In the restored folder, it needs to includes everything as I would have seen it on that date.  Some files/subfolders may not have changed for a long time (years).  Others may have changed more recently.


An example of this is the Evernote database folder.  In order to recover certain notes that have been deleted or changed, I need to restore my Evernote folder completely as it was on a certain date.  It must include ALL files/folders that I had on that date.


How can I do this?


I have done much research, many searches, read many documents (including Apple's) on how to use TM, and I can't find any information that says how to do this.


If TM can't do this, is there another backup system that can, that you would recommend?


Thanks for your help.
