Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 to 10 pies

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening, plus more for frying
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups buttermilk, more if needed
Apple pie filling, canned
Cherry pie filling, canned
Powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, mix together the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Cut in 1 cup of the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1 of the eggs and the buttermilk and stir until it just comes together. Add a little more buttermilk if needed. Form it into a ball and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • To make the pies, roll the pastry out into a large square. Trim the edges to make a rectangle. Cut into 8 to 10 long rectangles, using a butter knife.
  • Spoon a tablespoon or so of filling into the top half of one of the rectangles.
  • Use the remaining beaten eggs to seal the edges by folding the bottom half of the rectangle over the top. Then crimp the edges shut with a fork. Repeat with the other pies, filling half with apple pie filling and half with cherry pie filling.
  • Heat shortening in a medium, deep saucepan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Fry the pies until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove and immediately drain on paper towels.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has the best flavor and texture for fried pies.
  • Peel and core the pineapple yourself. Pre-cut pineapple is often more expensive and may not be as fresh.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the pineapple into small pieces. This will help the pineapple cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the pineapple. Overcooked pineapple will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a deep fryer or large saucepan to fry the pies. This will help the pies cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve the pies warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Pineapple fried pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give pineapple fried pies a try.
