My family just loves these easy fried pies. They are so easy, I almost
feel like I am cheating. I use to make these when we had snow days, back in the
Midwest. Now, they have become an anytime treat! I hope your family enjoys them
as much as mine!
Easy Peasy Fried Apple Pies
Ingredients –
Oil,
for frying the pies
2 cans buttermilk biscuits
1 (21-oz) can apple pie filling (or any that you may like!)
1/4 cup sugar (plus more for cinnamon sugar sprinkling)
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (plus more for cinnamon sugar sprinkling)
Flour
Directions-
Pour
your oil into a large skillet, preferably cast iron, about 1/2-inch up the
sides and heat to about 350 degrees F. I have used a home deep fryer for these.
Remove
the biscuits from cans, on a pastry sheet, flour the biscuits and roll each one
out to approximately a 5-inch round. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of your filling
on your biscuit round. Be sure to leave about a 1/2-inch edge all around to
seal. Place another rolled out biscuit round on top of the filling. Press
around the edges to seal. Dip the end of fork in flour and press around your
biscuit edge to get a good seal. Repeat with all remaining biscuits. Makes approximately
8 to 10 pies. Place about 3 of the pies in your preheated skillet. Fry biscuits
for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Place fried pies on paper
towels to drain. Sprinkle fried pies with cinnamon and sugar.
Yummmm!
