For the Apple Filling:
- 3 medium Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and diced
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour to make it thicker
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Crust:
- 2 sheets refrigerated pie crust or puff pastry
- 1 large egg beaten, for egg wash
For Frying:
- Vegetable oil enough to fill your fryer or skillet halfway
For Coating:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Step 1: Preparing the Apple Filling
Melt butter on medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt.
Simmer for 5-6 minutes, until the apples are slightly softened and the mixture is sticky and syrupy. You would have the apples soft and not mushy. Removed it from the heat and left it to cool in the room.
Step 2: Cut and Fill the Pastry
Measure out a small surface covered with flour to create your pie crust or puff pastry. Prepare pieces approximately 4x6 inches in shape, and you must have 6 or 8 pieces, depending on the quantity of dough.
Insert a spoonful of apple stuffing in the center of each of the rectangles, and half an inch of space on each side. Oil the sides with beaten egg, and place on a pastry.
Seal the sides with a fork- this will prevent all the sweet sticky stuff in its place.
Step 4: Fry Until Golden
Fry warm oil in a deep pan or fryer up to 350 °C (175 o C). Take an extremely thin-sliced piece of pie and drop it into hot oil, and fry both sides of the piece 2-3 minutes in the oil until it becomes nice, golden brown, and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, take away and leave to dry on paper towels for at least one minute.
Step 5: Top Cinnamon Sugar.
The pies are hot; therefore, at this stage, add granulated sugar and cinnamon to a bowl. Heavily sprinkle or sprinkle all the pies of the mixture uniformly.
You are crispy, sweet, and golden!
