How to Make Mini Fried Apple Pies
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup Crisco shortening (cold and cut into cubes), and 1/2 cup milk until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
- Gently flatten each ball with a rolling pin to about 3 inches in diameter.
- Peel and dice 4 medium apples (about 4 cups diced).
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender (about 10-15 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let the apple mixture cool completely.
- Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the cooled apple mixture in the center of each flattened dough circle.
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place several pies (don't overcrowd) in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the fried pies from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Before serving, dust generously with powdered sugar.
