FRIED APPLE-STUFFED BISCUIT TURNOVERS (AKA FRIED APPLE PIE)



Fried Apple-Stuffed Biscuit Turnovers (Aka Fried Apple Pie) image

This is a cheat recipe that uses canned biscuits like Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits. It's pretty easy too as it uses canned apple pie filling, but I suppose if you're feeling inspired, you could create your own apple filling instead. The trick is really to roll these out enough so they appear more like a turnover instead of having that biscuit thickness. These are great on Sundays in the Fall. Also, these are supposed to be made in a cast iron skillet for best results. You can also use other fruit fillings too instead of just apple, like blueberry, strawberry, peach, even bananas with caramel sauce & cinnamon. Garnish with a dab of fresh whipped cream or cool whip and sprinkle the turnovers with confectioners sugar. Serve with fresh berries as a dessert.

Categories     Pie

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

vegetable oil, for frying
2 (7 1/2 ounce) cans large buttermilk biscuits
1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
1/4 cup sugar (plus more for dusting)
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (plus more for dusting)
1/4 cup flour (for rolling)

Steps:

  • Pour the oil into a large cast iron skillet about 1/2-inch up the sides and heat to about 350 degrees F.
  • Remove biscuits from cans, flour them and roll each 1 out to a 5-inch round.
  • Place 1 large tablespoon of apple filling on a round leaving a 1/2-inch edge all around. Place another rolled out round on top of the filling, pressing around the edges to seal. (You should dip your fingers in water and wipe around the edge of the bottom biscuit to enable it to stick to the top biscuit.) Dip end of dinner fork in flour and press continuously around edge to seal. Repeat with remaining biscuits.
  • Place 3 or 4 of the pies in the preheated cast iron skillet. Fry for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown.
  • Transfer to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar while still hot. Serve with whipped cream and confectioners' sugar, if desired.

APPLE -PEAR TURNOVERS



Apple -Pear Turnovers image

These are a wonderful breakfast treat from Williams-Sonoma, and pretty easy too. Please don't be intimidated by the lengthy directions.

Provided by KellyMac6

Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 apples, about 3/4 pound total
1 firm but ripe pear, about 1/2 pound

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1/3 cup raisins (optional)
all-purpose flour, for rolling
2 frozen puff pastry sheets, each 9 1/2 inches square, thawed
1 egg
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Before you start position 2 oven racks evenly in the oven near the center so there is space in between them. Preheat the oven to 400°F Grease 2 baking sheets with butter.

  • Unfold 1 of the thawed puff pastry sheets on top of the flour. Keep the other sheet wrapped in the refrigerator.
  • Sprinkle some flour on the pastry.
  • Using a rolling pin, and beginning at the center of the pastry, roll out to the far side. Then roll from the center toward you.
  • After every few rolls, give the pastry a quarter turn and sprinkle the top and bottom of the pastry with more of the flour so the pastry does not stick.
  • Keep rolling and sprinkling until the pastry is a 12 1/2-inch square.
  • Using a ruler and a pizza wheel or table knife, trim the edges to make a 12-inch square.
  • Pull away the scraps of dough and discard.
  • Cut the 12-inch square into 4 equal 6-inch squares.
  • Spoon 1/3 cup of the filling into the center of each square.
  • Spread the filling across the middle toward 2 opposite points.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork.
  • Brush the beaten egg along 2 edges of each square with the pastry brush.
  • Fold one-half of each square over the filling, enclosing it fully and forming a triangle.
  • Press the edges together with the fork to seal them.
  • Place the 4 turnovers on a prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  • Repeat with the remaining puff pastry sheet and filling.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg.
  • Sprinkle the turnovers with the sugar.
  • Put 1 baking sheet on the upper rack in the oven and the other sheet on the lower rack in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.

VERY EASY APPLE TURNOVERS



Very Easy Apple Turnovers image

I am always trying to find new ways to use my canned apples and this recipe is a snap. If you don't can your own apple pie filling then you could use store bought but I would add a few more spices to the store bought to kick it up a bit.

Tips:

  • To make the turnovers extra flaky, use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it comes together and forms a ball.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid overworking it, as this will make the dough tough.
  • To prevent the turnovers from browning too quickly, brush them with an egg wash before baking.
  • For a sweeter turnover, add a teaspoon of cinnamon sugar to the apple mixture.
  • To make a vegan version of these turnovers, use vegan butter and milk.
