Ingredients

• Apple Pie Filling:
  • 2 cups diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Cheesecake Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the Pies:
  • 10-12 pie crust rounds (4-5 inches in diameter, refrigerated or homemade)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
• Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-step Directions

1. Prepare the Apple Pie Filling:

In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, stirring to coat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until apples are tender. Add the cornstarch-water mixture, cook for another 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and allow to cool.

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag or use a spoon for later filling.

3. Assemble the Pies:

Place a small amount of cheesecake filling in the center of each pie crust round, followed by a spoonful of apple pie filling. Brush edges with egg wash, fold into a half-moon shape, and press to seal. Crimp edges with a fork to ensure they are sealed.

4. Fry the Pies:

Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry pies in batches, 2-3 at a time, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

5. Prepare the Glaze:

Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over warm pies or dip pies into the glaze, letting excess drip off. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Servings & Preparation/Cooking Time

Makes 10-12 pies. Preparation time is approximately 30 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes for cooking.

Tips for Storage & Reheating

• Store cooled pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through and crispy.
• Freeze unglazed pies wrapped individually for up to one month. Thaw and reheat as above, then glaze before serving.
