How to Make Honey Apple Cranberry Fried Pies
- In a large saucepan, combine 3 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), 1 cup fresh or thawed frozen cranberries, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup honey, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cranberries begin to pop.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the mixture has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely. Drain any excess liquid.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pie dough to ⅛ inch thickness. Use a 4-inch cookie cutter or knife to cut out 9 circles.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cooled apple cranberry filling onto one half of each pastry circle.
- Moisten the edges of the pastry with water or an egg wash.
- Fold the pastry over the filling, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork.
- In a heavy skillet or deep fryer, heat ½ inch of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully fry the pies, 3-4 at a time, for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fried pies from the skillet and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- While the pies are still warm, mix together 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the hot pies.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
