Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup shortening, chilled
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup cold water
2 apples
¼ cup white sugar, or to taste
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
oil for frying

Steps:

  • Sift flour and salt together. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time and mix with fork. When the flour mixture is moistened, gather it into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Peel and dice the apples and place them in a saucepan. Combine the sugar and cinnamon; pour over the apples and toss to coat. Cook, covered, in a saucepan on low heat. Cook until soft, then mash with fork to form a thick applesauce. Allow to cool.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thick and cut rounds with a large cookie cutter (4 inches in diameter).
  • In each round, place 1 heaping tablespoon fruit. Moisten edges with cold water, fold in half, and press edge with a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining pastry and filling.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Fry the pies, a few at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on each side; cook until the crust is golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter
5 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Two 16-ounce cans refrigerated flaky jumbo biscuits (8 biscuits per can)
4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, for sprinkling onto finished pies
1 cup Cinnamon-Caramel Sauce, recipe follows, or store-bought caramel sauce
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup half-and-half
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter
2 pinches kosher salt
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, butter and 1 tablespoon water. Cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbling. Add the apples, vanilla, salt, cinnamon and lemon juice. Mix together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Pour into a heatproof bowl and let cool completely. You can make this ahead of time and chill in the fridge a day or so in advance if needed.
  • To make the pies, roll each biscuit into about a 5-inch circle that is about 1/8 inch thick. Spoon 2 generous tablespoons of the apple filling on each round of dough, just off center. Use your finger and run a little water around the edges to help them seal completely. Fold one half of each circle over onto the other half and seal in the apple filling, forcing out any air that you can. Press the edges together and crimp with a fork. Continue until they're all assembled.
  • Heat the oil in a high-sided skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F. Fry the pies 2 or 3 at a time for about 5 minutes, carefully turning them halfway through. Remove them to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
  • When all the pies are fried, sift the confectioners' sugar over top. Serve with Cinnamon-Caramel Sauce or store-bought caramel sauce.
  • Mix the brown sugar, half-and-half, butter and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, whisking gently, until it thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the vanilla, cinnamon and a second pinch of salt and cook another minute to thicken further. Turn off the heat and allow to cool to room temperature before serving. Chill if not using immediately.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 to 10 pies

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening, plus more for frying
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups buttermilk, more if needed
Apple pie filling, canned
Cherry pie filling, canned
Powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, mix together the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Cut in 1 cup of the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1 of the eggs and the buttermilk and stir until it just comes together. Add a little more buttermilk if needed. Form it into a ball and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • To make the pies, roll the pastry out into a large square. Trim the edges to make a rectangle. Cut into 8 to 10 long rectangles, using a butter knife.
  • Spoon a tablespoon or so of filling into the top half of one of the rectangles.
  • Use the remaining beaten eggs to seal the edges by folding the bottom half of the rectangle over the top. Then crimp the edges shut with a fork. Repeat with the other pies, filling half with apple pie filling and half with cherry pie filling.
  • Heat shortening in a medium, deep saucepan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Fry the pies until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove and immediately drain on paper towels.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
