My Mom made these all the time. I was looking for the dough recipe when I saw this one. Everything else I found was made with pre-packaged dough. Made them. Just like my Mom use to made!!! Wonderful

These pies are similar to empanadas, which I love, so I tried them out. I used a Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust and that worked wonderfully. I made 4 inch circles, and I ended up with 18 mini pies. I used 3 apples for the filling and it was just enough. I felt that the filling wasn't sweet enough so I spooned caramel sundea topping over the apples before sealing the crust. Sprinkled with powdered sugar. I think I'll do pumpkin next.

These apple pies were so easy to make. My family and grandkids loved them so much, I had to make another batch. I will use this recipe many times again.

These were awesome! I made this morning. I refrigerated my dough for a little while after making and it rolled out so smoothly. The apple pie filling was sweet but not syrupy sweet...very nice. I gave some to a friend of mine and her husband loved them too! Had to eat 2 of them!!! I sprinkled mine with cinnamon and sugar after frying. Make this recipe and you wont be disappointed!

This recipe was very good, and my family ate them all. The only thing was that it needed some extra filling. Next and there will be a next time I will add more filling.

I love McDonalds fried apple pies but my nearest McDonalds is a loooong way away. I've been looking for a recipe to make similar ones at home and here it is! These pies came out DELICIOUS!!! The pie dough came out perfect! They were golden and crunchy on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside. I used butter instead of shortening though for extra flavour. I changed the filling recipe to the mock McDonalds one - chunky apples, with more cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, lemon zest and a touch of cornstarch with lemon juice for thickening. I'm DEFINITELY making these pies again!!! Even better flavour and at a fraction of the price of the McDonald's ones :D Thanks to the author for this recipe!!!!

OH maaaan these are awesome! I made them with cold butter instead of shortening, and put the dough in the fridge while I was making the filling. I used two BIG Granny Smith apples, which still was not enough for the dough. It only made five pies, and I still had about a quarter of the dough left. Next time, I'll use more apples. I also did not puree them, just left them in small pieces. Otherwise, followed the quantities exactly, and fried in enough oil to cover half way up each pie, and turned them over after it got golden brown on the bottom. My mom, who is my biggest critic, loved them! They really were delicious,flaky, and not oily at all! Thank you for this great recipe :)

I made about 20 of these for a group of about 35 college kids... it wasn't enough. They really loved it. It was simple enough to make, but time consuming... then again we didn't have cooking utensils or a rolling pin, so that may have contributed. Anyways, Thanks!

Oh I have been looking for something like this for a while. This was exactly what I wanted. I had some icing that I made up for something else and drizzled it over. What a treat. Thanks for the post.

MY family was so fond of this recipe, we finished one batch in one night so we made more the next day! The second time, we replaced the white sugar with honey which made for a little sauciness (the original recipe's filling seemed dry) and tripled the cinnamon. We rolled them into little munchkin balls and called them "apple balls". My 4yr. old enjoyed helping. I admit, like another reviewer mentioned, I like McDonald's apple pies too, and as we were first eating these, I thought to myself as well, that these were comparable and far healthier. About the crust- the first time, I over watered, it was soo sticky, but fried up fine. The net day, I was more careful with adding water based on the dough's consistency instead of measurement, and the dough was still great. So I found the dough to be VERY forgiving.

I really enjoyed this recipe. Easy breezy! I made a huge batch for my dad for Christmas and he just loved every bite of them. I took them to my kid's daycare and they loved them too! Awesome! Awesome! I use a glaze to sweeten up the delicious crust, some powdered sugar, vanilla and a bit of water, pour over the tiny bites of heaven and viola!...awesomely sweet apple goodness! Thanks for sharing a memory of my childhood!

The taste of these were great. I used my own dough recipie. (1/2c. butter, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 1/2c. flour and up to 1/2c. cold water). The only thing I had problem with was my dough melting when I put the filling in hot. Let the filling cool first.
