The Best Fried Apple Pies Recipe (Homemade)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup vegetable shortening, chilled
• 6 tbsp. water, cold
• 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 3 cups apples, finely chopped
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the chilled vegetable shortening and cut it into the flour mixture with a pastry blender, a fork, or your hands, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add cold water to the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough starts to come together.
3. Roll dough out onto a floured surface and cut out circle shapes with a 3 inch biscuit cutter.
4. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and stir occasionally until the apples are tender and the mixture is well combined.
5. Place 1 tablespoon of the apple mixture onto half of each dough circle. Fold the remaining half of dough over the apple mixture and press the edges with a fork to seal.
