Instructions
Cook the Filling Sauté apples with butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a skillet until soft and golden. Let cool.
Shape the Pies Roll out pie dough and cut into 4–5 inch circles. Add a spoonful of filling to each, fold over, and seal edges with a fork.
Fry Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry pies 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels and dust with sugar or cinnamon sugar while warm.
Tips
Keep dough cold for flakier crust.
Don’t overfill to avoid leaks.
Use a thermometer to keep oil hot and steady.
Bake instead: 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes.
Storage
Best fresh, but store in an airtight container:
Room temp: 2 days
Fridge: 4 days
Freeze unbaked pies up to 2 months
Serving Ideas
Pair with vanilla ice cream or caramel drizzle.
Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for flavor depth.
Sprinkle powdered sugar for a bakery-style finish.
