    List of Ingredients




    FILLING:
    2 tablespoons butter
    2 pounds apples, cored and diced
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 pinch nutmeg
    1/4 cup sugar
    1/4 cup light brown sugar
    1 1/2 cups water
    juice of 1/2 lemon
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 tablespoon cornstarch

    DOUGH:
    3 cups flour
    2 teaspoons sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    6 tablespoons shortening
    1 egg
    3/4 cup milk
    powdered sugar

    Recipe



    Preheat oil for frying. In a sauce pan, melt the butter. Add the apples and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, 1/4 cup sugar, and brown sugar. Continue sauteing for 1 minute, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar. Add the water and lemon juice. Bring the liquid up to a boil. Add cornstarch dissolved in 1 Tablespoon of water. Whisk the vanilla and slurry into the liquid. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the apples are soft. Remove from heat and cool completely.

    In a mixing bowl, sift the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder, together. Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, working it to make a thick dough. Break the dough into 12 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough pieces into thin rounds, about 5 inches in diameter. Put 1/4 cup of the mixture in the center of each round, fold over and crimp the edges with a fork. Fry the pies, two to three at a time, in the hot oil, until golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Powder the pies with the powdered sugar. May serve with vanilla ice cream.
