Ingredients

• 8 ounces dried apples or dried peaches
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tsp. cinnamon or apple pie spice
• 1 can jumbo refrigerated flaky biscuits
• vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine the dried apples or dried peaches with water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender for about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, mashing slightly if necessary. Stir in sugar and butter and set aside.
2. If you’re using fresh apples, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large sauté pan. Add peeled, cored, and chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes until the apples are soft. Remove from heat, mash slightly, and let cool.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit into a 5-inch circle. Place about 1 tablespoon of the apple or peach mixture on one half of each biscuit circle. Dip your fingers in water and moisten the edges of the circles to seal the pies. Fold in half, ensuring that the edges are even, and use a fork dipped in flour to press the edges firmly together to seal.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet or use a deep fryer. The oil should be about 1/2 inch deep. Fry the pies in the hot oil (370°F) over medium-high heat until golden, turning once. Take your time to ensure the biscuit is cooked all the way through.
5. Once cooked, drain the pies on paper towels to remove excess oil. This recipe makes approximately 10 pies.

Recipe Tips

• When sealing the pies, make sure to get a good seal at the edge and avoid poking holes in them as you move them around.
• Be patient while frying the pies. Cooking them too fast may result in the inside not being fully cooked.
• Get ready to indulge in the most delicious Fried Apple or Peach Pies you’ve ever tasted. Enjoy!
