Irresistible Fried Apple or Peach Pies Recipe
Ingredients:
– 8 ounces dried apples or dried peaches
– 1 cup water
– 1/3 cup sugar
– 1 tablespoon butter
– 1 tsp. cinnamon or apple pie spice
– 1 can jumbo refrigerated flaky biscuits
– Vegetable oil, for frying
How To Make Fried Apple or Peach Pies:
1. **Prepare the Filling:** In a saucepan, combine dried apples or peaches with water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and let cool. Mash slightly if pieces are large, then stir in sugar and butter. Set mixture aside.
2. **Alternative Filling Method:** If using fresh apples, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large sauté pan. Add 4 peeled, cored, and chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes until soft. Remove from heat, mash slightly, and cool.
3. **Prepare the Dough:** Roll each biscuit into a 5-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the apple or peach mixture on half of each biscuit circle. Moisten edges of circles with water and seal pies by folding in half, ensuring edges are even. Press edges firmly together with a fork dipped in flour to seal.
4. **Fry the Pies:** Heat vegetable oil to a depth of 1/2 inch in a heavy skillet or deep fryer. Fry pies in hot oil (370°F) over medium-high heat until golden, turning once. Ensure thorough cooking of the biscuit dough.
5. **Serve:** Drain fried pies well on paper towels. This recipe yields 10 pies.
Recipe Notes:
– Ensure a good seal at the edges of the pies and avoid poking holes in them while handling.
– Fry the pies at a moderate pace to ensure the inside is thoroughly cooked.
– Enjoy the deliciousness of these Fried Apple or Peach Pies, a delightful treat you won’t be able to resist!
