APPLE PIE FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, squeeze lemon juice on apples to keep them from browning.
• In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, combine water with brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, vanilla and kosher salt. Whisk until fully combined.
• Add apples to the pan and bring mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Cook until apples are tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Spread one pie crust out on prepared baking sheet. Spread apple mixture onto pie crust, and top with a second pie crust.
• Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Using a pizza cutter, cut into fry shapes.
• Bake for 20 minutes, until crust is golden. Serve with caramel for dipping.

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.
