Steps:
- Place apricots in a saucepan, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until tender. Drain, reserving 5 tablespoons liquid.
- Place apricots and reserved liquid in a food processor container fitted with steel blade. Process until smooth. Add sugar, butter, and cinnamon; process until blended.
- Roll out one crust on lightly floured surface and cut it into six 4 inch squares. Place 1 tablespoon apricot filling in the center of each square. Fold each square in half diagonally to form a triangle. Press a fork dipped in flour onto the edges to seal, and poke tops to permit steam to escape. Repeat with remaining crust and apricot mixture.
- Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Cook triangles, a few at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on each side; fry until the crust is golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:
- 1. Lay out pie crust. Use a wide mouth jar or glass to cut circles in pie crust.
- 2. Spoon a tbsp. pie filling on half the circle and fold crust over. Seal edges with a fork
- 3. Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
- 4. Drain on paper towels. Cool slightly and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right fruit: Not all fruits are created equal when it comes to frying. Some fruits, like apples and pears, hold their shape well and have a nice balance of sweetness and tartness. Others, like berries and bananas, are more delicate and can easily overcook.
- Use a light touch: When frying fruit, it's important to be gentle. Don't overcrowd the pan or stir the fruit too much, or you'll end up with mush.
- Cook the fruit until it's just tender: You don't want to overcook the fruit, or it will become tough and chewy. A good rule of thumb is to cook the fruit until it's just tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve the fruit warm or at room temperature: Fried fruit is best served warm or at room temperature. This allows the flavors to really shine through.
Conclusion:
Fried fruit pies are a delicious and easy way to enjoy your favorite fruits. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious dessert that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give fried fruit pies a try.
