Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups diced apples or peaches, peeled
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 package (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
- Optional: powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, for topping
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine fruit, sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook for 5–7 minutes until fruit softens and mixture thickens. Let cool slightly.
- Roll each biscuit into a 5-inch circle.
- Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of fruit filling onto one side of each circle. Fold over and seal edges with a fork.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry pies in batches, 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar or roll in cinnamon sugar if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use a mix of apples and peaches for deeper flavor.
- Add vanilla extract or nutmeg to filling for extra warmth.
- Seal edges well to prevent leaking; use water to help seal if needed.
- Can be baked at 375°F for 15–18 minutes for a lighter version.
- Store leftover filling in the fridge for up to 2 days in advance.
