HOT APPLE PIES JUST LIKE THE ONES AT THE FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU

If you love the apple pies from Mcdonald's, you will like this copycat recipe that you can make at home better. They are super flaky and crispy.

Hot Crispy Apple Pies, a dessert pastry just like the ones you get at a drive-through fast food restaurant, only better. And the best part of the "better" is the recipe calls for only two ingredients, yes, only two!

These hot, crispy apple pies are similar to a turnover, except they are smaller and fried. The perfect portable little dessert.

The fruit filling is a premade apple filling I bought from a little Amish Pantry Store not too far from where we live.

The apples are diced into little chunks, which works great for these little pies.

I could have stayed there all day in their little food pantry. I ended up buying three fruit fillings, apple, apricot, and peach.

The dough for this recipe is incredibly simple. Are you ready? I used wonton wrappers. Yes, they make the crispiest dough when fried.

The filling stays thick and creamy while the dough fries up really crisp. I used Crisco shortening to fry them. My Mother always fried her fried pies in shortening, and I still do today.

I think the hot shortening releases from the fried dough better after frying, and there is not such an oily taste left in your mouth.

This is my personal taste, and by all means, if you are opposed to using shortening, then oil will undoubtedly be fine.

After frying three or four at a time, I take them out of the hot shortening with a slotted spoon, immediately dust them with cinnamon sugar,, and coat them well.

Then I place them on a rack in a baking sheet pan and keep them in a 200-degree oven until I have finished frying all of them.

We loved these so much that I am making the next batch with the apricot and peach. I hope you get to make some soon.

These would be great to make for tailgating or any gathering. Enjoy!
