McDonald's Apple Pie

Granny Smith apple

red apple

butter

brown sugar

cinnamon

nutmeg

allspice

vanilla extract

lemon juice

salt

puff pastry

Defrost the puff pastry according to package directions.

Dice apples into small pieces and place apples in a pot over medium heat.

To the pot add butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt.

Cook apples for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the apples are softened.

Cut puff pastry into 8 squares.

Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of cooked apples onto one side of each one of the squares.

Brush water on the edge of each one of the squares and fold the squares over on each other. Use a fork to crimp the edges together.

Add enough oil to a large pot or deep fryer to cover the bottom 3 inches.

Heat oil until 350 degrees. The oil will be ready when you drop a small piece of dough in the oil and it cooks rapidly.

Cook pies 2 at a time, for about 1 minute on each side.

Remove pies when both sides are golden brown.

Place fried pies on a wire rack to drain excess oil.

If you want to keep the pies warm, hold them in a 200-degree oven until you are ready to serve.

Apple Hand Pies are made with homemade apple pie filling inside golden flaky pie crust or refrigerated biscuit dough. Make them the day ahead of time and freeze.

Apple Hand Pies

medium/large apples (Granny Smith & Macoun)

unsalted butter

sugar

cornstarch

Homemade pie crust or biscuit dough

Peel, core and chop the apples into small pieces. Melt the butter in a 10-12 inch fry pan. Cook the apples over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes or until soft. Sprinkle with brown sugar, sugar, and lemon juice while they cook. Stir with a wooden spoon occasionally, making sure they do not burn.

Dissolve the cornstarch in about 1/4 cup of cold water. Stir to combine.

Pour in the cornstarch mixture once they are almost done and let cook to thicken the apples and juice.

Remove from the heat and add the cinnamon, nutmeg and stir to combine. Let the pie filling cool completely.

Apple Pie Filling

Roll out your biscuit dough or pie crust on a lightly floured surface, into 4-6 inch ovals, about 1/8-1/4-inch thick.

Scoop about 1 tablespoon or so of the cooled pie filing in the center of each round.

Fold over, lightly press down on the filling and the edges. (Lightly wet edges with water, using your fingertip if needed) Crimp the edges of the dough with a floured fork.

Or cover the sheet pan loosely with plastic wrap and place into the freezer for later use.

Place uncooked pies on a half-sheet pan which is lined with parchment paper. Place the entire tray into the refrigerator while the oil heats.

Fill a fry pan with about 2-3 inches of canola oil. Heat the oil until very hot (about 370 to 375 degrees F).

Place only a few hand pies in the hot oil at a time, as to not overcrowd the pan or let the oil cool. Fry until they are brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove from the hot oil and let drain on paper towels on a half-sheet pan. Sprinkle with granulated sugar or dust with powdered sugar while they are still warm.

Or drizzle each hand pie with a simple glaze. Let dry slightly before handling.

These are best served warm. Delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with warm caramel sauce.
