Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 21 oz apple pie filling about one standard can
  • 16.3 oz refrigerated biscuit dough 8-count
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour optional, to thicken filling
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter optional
  • 1 tbsp cold water for sealing edges

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Stir sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; set aside for topping.
  • Warm apple pie filling in a skillet. Add flour and butter. Simmer 2 minutes to thicken, then cool.
  • Separate biscuits. Press each into a 5-inch round on a lightly floured surface.
  • Spoon a heaping tablespoon of filling onto half of each round. Brush edges with water.
  • Fold to close. Crimp with a fork to seal tightly. Cut a small vent on top.
  • Heat oil in a deep skillet to about 350°F over medium heat.
  • Fry pies in batches until deep golden, 2–3 minutes per side. Do not crowd the pan.
  • Drain on a rack. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar while warm. Rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Try a caramel twist by drizzling warm caramel over the pies or adding a pinch of nutmeg to the filling. For storage, cool completely, then refrigerate up to 3 days; re-crisp in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes.
