Fried Apple Pies

Fried Apple Pies

2 tablespoons of butter
2 pounds of apples, cored and diced
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
A pinch nutmeg
1/4 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 1/2 cup of water
The juice of 1/2 of a lemon
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
For the crust:
3 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
6 tablespoons of shortening
1 egg
3/4 cup of milk
Powdered sugar

Preheat oil in a skillet for frying.

In a saucepan, melt the butter and add
the apples and cook for 2 minutes. Stir
in the cinnamon, nutmeg, 1/4 cup of sugar,
and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Continue
cooking for 1 minute, stirring constantly
to dissolve the sugar. Add the water and
lemon juice.

Bring the liquid to a boil and add the
cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon of
water.

Whisk the vanilla and the cornstarch
mixture into the liquid. Reduce the heat
to a simmer and cook for 15 - 20 minutes,
or until the apples are soft.

Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

Mix together the shortening, egg, and 3/4 cup
of milk. In a mixing bowl, sift the flour,
sugar, salt and baking powder together.
Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour
mixture, working it to make a thick dough.

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. On
a lightly floured surface, roll the dough
pieces into thin rounds, about 5 inches in
diameter. Put 1/4 cup of the apple mixture
in the center of each round, fold the dough
over and crimp the edges with a fork.

Fry the pies, two to three at a time, in the
hot oil, until golden brown.

Remove from the oil and drain on paper
towels. Powder the pies with the powdered
sugar.
