Ingredients
▢ 8 ounces of dried peaches or apples
▢ one water cup
▢ 1/2 cup sugar and 1//4 cup butter
▢ cinnamon or apple pie spice, 1 teaspoon
▢ 1 can of large flaky biscuits that have been refrigerated, for frying
How To Make FRIED APPLE or PEACH PIES
1. Place apples and water in a saucepan and heat to a boil. Cover the pot, lower the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until the meat is cooked. Once finished, take off the heat and allow to cool, slightly mashing if the chunks are big. After that, you can add sugar and butter and whisk the mixture.
2. To make the filling, melt 2 TBS of butter in a big saute pan if you’re using fresh apples. Immediately combine sugar, cinnamon, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 4 peeled, cored, and sliced apples. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Then turn off the heat, slightly mash, and let cool.
3. Next, flatten each biscuit into a 5-inch circle on a lightly dusted surface, and then spread about 1 tablespoon of the apple mixture over half of each biscuit. To seal pies, be sure to wet the circle edges with your fingertips after dipping them in water. Remember to fold in half, checking that the edges are straight, and then seal by pressing the edges firmly together with a fork dusted with flour.
4. Afterward, use a deep fryer or a heavy skillet to add oil to a depth of 1/2 inch. Then quickly fry pies till golden brown over medium-high heat, rotating once, in heated oil (370°). You want the biscuit to be cooked all the way through, so take your time.
5. Drain completely on paper towels. This should equal ten pies.
