Ingredients
  

  • 2 large apples peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
  • Oil for frying
  • Cinnamon sugar for dusting

Method
 

  1. In a saucepan, combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the apples are soft and the mixture is thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  2. Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Cut each crust into 4 equal squares.
  3. Place a spoonful of the apple mixture onto one half of each square. Fold the other half of the crust over the filling to create a triangle shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges to seal.
  4. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet to 350°F (180°C).
  5. Carefully add the pies to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Remove the fried pies from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Dust the fried apple pies with cinnamon sugar while they are still warm.
  8. Enjoy!
