These fried apple pies are made with refrigerated biscuits and dried apples.
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces dried apples
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 can (10 ounces) refrigerated flaky biscuits
- vegetable oil, for frying
Preparation:
Combine apples and water in saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and let cool, mashing slightly if pieces are large. Stir in sugar and butter; set mixture aside.Roll each biscuit into a 5-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place about 2 tablespoons apple mixture on half of each biscuit circle. To seal pies, dip fingers in water and moisten edges of circles. Fold in half, making sure edges are even. Using a fork dipped in flour, press edges firmly together to seal. Pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch into a heavy skillet, or use deep fryer. Fry pies in hot oil (370°) over medium-high heat golden, turning once. Drain well on paper towels.
Makes 10 little pies.
