Apricot and Peach Fried Pies

 Fried pies are a delicious treat made by filling a pastry dough with a sweet or savory filling, then deep-frying it until the dough is crispy and golden brown. Apricot and peach are both popular choices for the filling in sweet fried pies.

Here's a recipe you can try:

Ingredients:

1 recipe for pie dough (store-bought or homemade)

2 cups diced apricots

2 cups diced peaches

1/2 cup sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

Vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

Step 1

In a large saucepan, combine the apricots, peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Let the filling cool to room temperature.

Step 2

ut the pie dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut the dough into circles using a round cookie cutter or a glass.

Step 3

Place a tablespoon of the cooled filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling, forming a half-moon shape and pressing the edges to seal.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or a deep pan to 350 degrees F. Carefully add the pies to the hot oil a few at a time, and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Step 5

Remove the fried pies from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Step 6

Let the fried pies cool for a few minutes before serving. You can dust them with powdered sugar or serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This recipe can be adjusted to your own taste and preference. you can use apricot, peach or any fruit you like. You can also add different spices or herbs to the filling such as vanilla extract, or ginger powder.
