Stuffed Cheesecake Fried Apple Pies

recip


4. Fry the Pies

  1. Heat about 1–2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough into it—it should sizzle and float to the surface.
  2. Carefully place 2–3 pies into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pies to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

5. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Dust the fried pies with powdered sugar while still warm.
  2. Serve plain or with optional toppings like caramel sauce, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  3. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or spiced cider for a cozy treat.
  • Drizzle caramel or chocolate sauce over the pies for added decadence.
  • Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or crushed graham crackers for extra flair.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Keep Fillings Cool: Ensure both the apple and cheesecake fillings are completely cool before assembling the pies to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
  • Seal Tightly: Press the edges firmly with a fork to prevent the fillings from leaking out during frying.
  • Work in Batches: Fry the pies in small batches to maintain consistent oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the pies ahead of time, freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Fry directly from frozen, adding 1–2 extra minutes to the cooking time.
