Description

These Ranch Apple Fried Pies offer a nostalgic, campfire-style treat that transforms simple dried fruit into a decadent dessert. By rehydrating the apples with citrus and simmering them with butter and sugar, you create a rich, sticky filling that contrasts beautifully with the crisp, fried dough. The combination of orange and lemon adds a bright, tangy note that cuts through the sweetness. Perfect for outdoor gatherings, family dinners, or as a comforting weekend indulgence, these pies are easy to assemble and fry quickly. Serve them warm, dusted with powdered sugar, for an unforgettable homemade experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the dried apples, sliced orange, and sliced lemon in a saucepan and cover with water.
  2. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until the fruit is tender.
  3. Remove from heat and drain any excess liquid if necessary.
  4. Stir in the butter and sugar until fully melted and well combined with the fruit.
  5. Allow the apple mixture to cool completely.
  6. Roll out tough pastry dough on a floured surface.
  7. Cut the pastry into 4-inch circles.
  8. Place 2 tablespoons of the cooled apple mixture onto the center of each circle.
  9. Fold the pastry over to form a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly to seal.
  10. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  11. Fry the pies in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  12. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels before serving.
