Number Of Ingredients 14

Crust:
1 C. unbleached all-purpose flour
6 Tbs. cold butter
1/4 C. ice water
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
Filling:
2 C. peeled apples, chopped
1/2 C. apple cider
1/4 C. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
zest and juice of 1 lemon
salt
2 Tbs. flour

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, salt, and sugar in the food processor. Cut up the butter into large chunks, and add to the flour. Pulse until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Add the ice water and pulseuntil the dough is held together.
  • Form dough into a 6" disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • To make the filling, combine the apples, cider, sugar, zest and juice, and salt, and cook over medium heat.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for a minute or two more. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Heat cooking oil to 350 degrees.
  • Roll a third of the dough into a 12" oval.
  • Cut the oval in half, and carefully pile 1/3 cup of filling on one half of each semi-circle.
  • Wet the edges, and fold over, pressing each into a turnover shape.
  • Seal the edges with a fork.
  • Fry the pies for 3-4 minutes. Flip halfway through. Remove when they are a deep golden brown.
