Description
Fried Peach or Apple Pies are a delightful treat featuring flaky pastry filled with sweet, spiced fruit, perfect for dessert or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 6–8 tablespoons ice water
- 2 cups peaches or apples, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust based on fruit sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two balls, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix the diced peaches or apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside.
- On a floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles (about 4-5 inches in diameter).
- Place a spoonful of the fruit mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and crimp the edges to seal.
- In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the pies for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
