Ingredients
Apple Hand Pies
- 1 homemade pie crust recipe, or 2 boxes of store-bought pie crust dough
- 2 cups apple pie filling, or 1 can (21 ounces) store-bought apple pie filling
- vegetable oil, for frying
Glaze
- 4 cups (250 g) confectioners' sugar
- 5-7 tablespoons whole milk, or more or less until glaze reaches your desired consistency, room temperature
Instructions
Apple Hand Pies
- Roll out the pie crusts to ⅛-inch thick and use a cookie cutter to cut the crust into 4-5-inch rounds. (You should get 26-28 pie crust rounds.)
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of apple pie filling to each round. (If you made your own apple pie filling, let it cool before adding to the crust.)
- Fold each mini pie crust (half-moon shape), rubbing water around to edge to help seal it. Crimp with a fork.
Glaze
- Mix confectioners' sugar and 3 tablespoons milk in a bowl until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add in another tablespoon milk. Set aside.
Frying Apple Hand Pies
- Fill a frying pan 2-3 inches with oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 375°F with a candy thermometer.
- Place 2-3 apple hand pies into the pan. Fry until golden brown (3-4 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel-lined cooling rack.
- While the hand pies are still warm, coat with the glaze. You can coat the pies by drizzling the glaze over each pie or dipping each pie into the bowl of glaze using a large fork. Serve immediately.
