Ingredients

  • 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Extra sugar for sprinkling

Equipment

  • Deep fryer or large pot
  • Rolling pin
  • Biscuit cutter or small bowl
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush

Method

  1. Preheat your deep fryer or pot with vegetable oil to 375 degrees F.
  2. Combine the apple pie filling, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Mix well.
  3. Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  4. Using a biscuit cutter or small bowl, cut out circles of dough. You should get about 8 circles from each crust.
  5. Place a tablespoon of the apple filling in the center of each circle.
  6. Brush the edges of the circles with the beaten egg and water mixture.
  7. Fold the circles in half and press the edges together with a fork to seal.
  8. Cut slits in the top of each pie with a knife to allow steam to escape.
  9. Place the pies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with extra sugar.
  10. Carefully place the pies in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
  11. Remove the pies from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  12. Serve the pies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Notes

Make sure the oil temperature is at 375 degrees F before adding the pies to fry. If the oil is too hot, the pies will burn, and if it's too cool, they will become greasy.
