How to Make Apple Fried Pies

  1. **Make the Apple Filling:** Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 4 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 4 medium), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let the apple filling cool completely. This is crucial for easy handling.
  4. **Assemble the Pies:** On a lightly floured surface, roll out refrigerated biscuits (8 count) to form 7-8 inch circles. (Alternatively, use your favorite pie crust recipe).
  5. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled apple filling onto one half of each circle.
  6. Brush the edges of the dough with water or milk.
  7. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
  8. Crimp the edges using a fork to seal.
  9. **Fry the Pies:** Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Carefully place 2-3 pies into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 5-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  12. **Serve Immediately:** Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with vanilla ice cream for a truly decadent treat!
