Steps:
- Place apricots in a saucepan, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until tender. Drain, reserving 5 tablespoons liquid.
- Place apricots and reserved liquid in a food processor container fitted with steel blade. Process until smooth. Add sugar, butter, and cinnamon; process until blended.
- Roll out one crust on lightly floured surface and cut it into six 4 inch squares. Place 1 tablespoon apricot filling in the center of each square. Fold each square in half diagonally to form a triangle. Press a fork dipped in flour onto the edges to seal, and poke tops to permit steam to escape. Repeat with remaining crust and apricot mixture.
- Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Cook triangles, a few at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on each side; fry until the crust is golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:
- 1. Lay out pie crust. Use a wide mouth jar or glass to cut circles in pie crust.
- 2. Spoon a tbsp. pie filling on half the circle and fold crust over. Seal edges with a fork
- 3. Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
- 4. Drain on paper towels. Cool slightly and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
Tips:
- Choose firm fruit: Overripe fruit will break down and become mushy during frying. Opt for fruit that is slightly underripe or just ripe.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: This will help distribute heat evenly and prevent the fruit from burning.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the fruit in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. This will help ensure that the fruit cooks evenly.
- Use a mixture of butter and oil: This will help prevent the butter from burning and will also add flavor to the fruit.
- Don't overcook the fruit: Fruit should be cooked until it is tender but still holds its shape. Overcooked fruit will become mushy.
- Serve the pies immediately: Fried fruit pies are best served hot and fresh out of the skillet.
Conclusion:
Fried fruit pies are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed year-round. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there's sure to be a flavor that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give fried fruit pies a try. You won't be disappointed!
