How to make Neely's Fried Apple Pie A La Mode

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
2 Gala apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 box ready-made pie crusts (recommended: Pillsbury)
Peanut oil, for frying
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Vanilla ice cream, for topping

Steps:

  • To a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, and the apples and saute until they are tender, about 5 to 6 minutes. Drizzle in the maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Continue cooking for 5 minutes more until the apples are completely softened. Remove them from the pan and allow them to cool while you prepare the dough.
  • Roll out both pieces of pie dough onto a floured surface. Cut out 8 (6-inch) circles and lay them out onto a parchment-lined sheet tray. Put a heaping tablespoon of the apple pie filling into the center of each round Fold the circles in half and seal their edges with the tines of a fork.
  • In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough peanut oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 350 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and reserve.
  • Fry the pies, 3 at a time, in the hot peanut oil until they are golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer the finished pies to a paper towel-lined sheet tray. Once they are cool, toss them in the cinnamon sugar and serve with vanilla ice cream.
