APPLE PIE FRIES

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Cut in butter and cream cheese with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1 teaspoon vinegar and enough cold water with fork just until flour is moistened.
• Divide dough in half. Press each into 6x4-inch rectangle. Wrap in plastic food wrap; refrigerate.
• Melt butter in 10-inch skillet over medium heat until sizzling. Add apples; cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add sugar; cook 3 minutes or until apples begin to soften. Add 1 tablespoon flour, 3/4 teaspoon apple pie spice and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Cook 2 minutes or until mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon vinegar. Cover filling; refrigerate 1 hour or until chilled through.
• Place filling into food processor bowl fitted with metal blade. Process until pieces are pea-sized.
• Stir 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon apple pie spice together in small bowl until well mixed. Set aside.
• Heat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Whisk egg white and 1 teaspoon water together in small bowl. Set aside.
• Roll out one piece of dough onto lightly floured surface to 12x16-inch rectangle. (Dough will be quite thin.) Repeat with second piece of dough. Spread filling evenly over 1 rectangle. Carefully top with second dough rectangle. Brush top with beaten egg white; sprinkle with topping.
• Cut dough into 1/2-inch strips (12 inches long) using fluted pastry cutter or pizza cutter. Cut each strip into 3 pieces, forming "fries." Place fries, 1-inch, apart onto prepared baking sheets. Bake 7-9 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature with caramel topping, if desired.

APPLE FRIES WITH APPLE PIE SPICE WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a small Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer. Heat over medium heat to 365 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, apple pie spice and vanilla in a large bowl. Whip with a whisk or hand mixer until it holds medium peaks. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Whisk 1/4 cup water into the cornstarch in a bowl until smooth. Add the cinnamon sugar and whisk to combine. Dip the apple strips into the mixture and toss until evenly coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off before carefully lowering half of the apples into the hot oil. Fry, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Let drain on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Fry the remaining apple strips in the same manner. Serve immediately alongside the whipped cream.

FRIED APPLE PIES

Steps:

• Sift flour and salt together. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time and mix with fork. When the flour mixture is moistened, gather it into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Peel and dice the apples and place them in a saucepan. Combine the sugar and cinnamon; pour over the apples and toss to coat. Cook, covered, in a saucepan on low heat. Cook until soft, then mash with fork to form a thick applesauce. Allow to cool.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thick and cut rounds with a large cookie cutter (4 inches in diameter).
• In each round, place 1 heaping tablespoon fruit. Moisten edges with cold water, fold in half, and press edge with a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining pastry and filling.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fry the pies, a few at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on each side; cook until the crust is golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
