Fried Pie Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Cook until the apples are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool.

  3. 3

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into circles (about 4-5 inches in diameter).

  4. 4

    Fill the Pies

    Place a tablespoon of the apple filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold over and seal the edges with a fork.

  5. 5

    Fry the Pies

    In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the pies in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Mix sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle over the warm fried pies and serve with whipped cream.
