Step 1

Fried Version:

Step 2

Roll your puff pastry or pie crust into a ¼ inch thick and a rectangle. Cut the dough into 2.5-inch by 4.5-inch rectangles and repeat with the rest of the dough. (12 to 14 rectangles total)

Step 3

Brush the rectangles with a border of egg wash (one beaten egg and a splash of water). Then add one healing tablespoon, of the pie filling, in the center of the previously brushed rectangles, without touching the edge.

Step 4

Tap it with another equally sized rectangle, seal the edges, avoiding any air, trim any major excess dough, if necessary and place in a lined baking sheet, and repeat with the rest of the pies.

Step 5

In a five quart size pot, add the oil and heat it to 360F (180C), gently lay in three to four pies, and fry them for three to five minutes, or until golden brown, flipping halfway through. Pull them out and place them in a wired racked baking sheet to drain for a couple of seconds, and immediately toss in cinnamon sugar. (toss it while the pies are hot) Repeat with the rest of the pies.
