Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces dried apples or dried peaches
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon or apple pie spice
- 1 can jumbo refrigerated flaky biscuits
- vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine dried apples or peaches with water. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and let cool, mashing slightly if pieces are large. Stir in sugar and butter; set mixture aside.
- If using fresh apples: For the filling, add 2 tablespoons butter to a large sauté pan and melt. Add 4 peeled, cored, and chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the apples are soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, mash slightly, and cool.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit into a 5-inch circle. Place about 1 tablespoon of the apple or peach mixture on half of each biscuit circle. To seal pies, dip fingers in water and moisten edges of circles. Fold in half, ensuring edges are even. Using a fork dipped in flour, press edges firmly together to seal.
- Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet or deep fryer to a depth of 1/2 inch, to 370°F (187°C). Fry pies in hot oil over medium-high heat until golden, turning once. Ensure thorough cooking of the biscuit. Drain well on paper towels.
