Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large apples peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup hot milk
  • 2 egg yolks
  • Vegetable or canola oil for frying
Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Method
 

In a pan over medium heat, cook apples with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and apple cider for 5–7 minutes until softened.
    Stir in cornstarch mixed with a little water and cook until thickened, then let cool completely.
      In a bowl, mix flour and salt, then cut in butter until crumbly.
        Add hot milk and egg yolks, mixing until a soft dough forms.
          Roll dough out and cut into circles about 5–6 inches wide.
            Add a spoonful of filling, fold over, and seal edges with a fork.
              Heat oil to about 350°F (175°C) and fry pies 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
                Remove and drain on paper towels, then let cool slightly.
                  Mix glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm pies.

                    Notes

                    Make sure filling is fully cooled before assembling. Do not overfill to prevent bursting. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
