Best Easy Fried Pies Recipes

EASY FRIED PIES

Steps:

• 1. Let the biscuits come to room temperature for easy rolling. Flour your surface. Roll out a biscuit to a circle diameter of of 5-6 inches. Place 1-2 tablespoons of pie filling in the lower half of the biscuit. Take water and dab around one edge (this helps sealing). Fold over the top and press around the edge with a fork.
• 2. Cook in canola oil over medium low heat until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip gently to the other side. Drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
• 3. I always have a little pie filling left over, but it will make a can of ten biscuits.
• 4. **I have also used the pie filling sweeetend with Splenda for diabetic family members**

EASY BANANA FRIED PIES

Steps:

• 1. Recipe: Easy Fried Banana Pies If you're looking for something a little different to serve for dessert at weekend get-togethers, try these easy-to make Fried Banana Pies. • Get some large, firm, barely ripe bananas. Each banana will make four mini-pies. Barely ripe bananas will hold their texture better. • Get some Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry dough. It comes in ready-to-use sheets in your grocery's freezer section. (I tried filo dough, but it's too fragile for me to work with. Your mileage may vary.) • You'll also need some honey, and/or brown sugar if desired, powdered confectioner's sugar, and vegetable cooking oil. 1. Peel and slice bananas in half longways, and then in half again crossways. 2. Lay out a sheet of puff pastry dough. I roll it out a little thinner to make it go further and make the pies less doughy. 3. Cut a square of pastry dough slightly longer than a banana piece, and place the banana on it. Put a little honey on the banana, and/or sprinkle a little brown sugar if desired, roll it up so it looks like an eggroll, then pinch all the seams and ends together to seal it. 4. Fry in a skillet with 1/4" or so of medium-hot cooking oil. Fry on each side until the dough is done to a crispy golden brown. 5. Remove from skillet and use a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with powdered confectioner's sugar. Serve hot, alone or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt. Yum!
