I start the day before by doing a little prep, peeling the apples and faux- drying them. What is faux drying you ask, well.. it's simple really. Peel a 3 pound bag of apples; yellow delicious, Fiji , Gala or a mixture.Dice and then stir in 1 cup of sugar or substitute and 1 T. of vinegar, cover and let set out overnight( refrigerate if using substitute). You can slice , dice or even mash them if you like. Enjoy.

Yes,
Peel a 3 pound bag of apples; yellow delicious, Fiji , Gala or a mixture.Dice and then stir in 1 cup of sugar or substitute and 1 T. of vinegar, cover and let set out overnight( refrigerate if using substitute), stirring occasionally.
The next morning mix:
2- T cornstarch and 1/8 cup water together. cut up half a stick of butter & cinnamon , add to apples and cook in micorwave for approx 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool to room temp or chill in fridge. :thumbup: enjoy :thumbup:

Happy to say, Yes !You can. Fry just til they're light brown. Lay on cookie sheet lined with wax paper, cover with another layer of waxed paper and then freeze. When frozen , place in gallon zip-lock bag, date. When you are ready to serve, either bake til golden at 325 or deep fry til golden brown.

If the fruit is peaches, cherries, or apples, you can add them to a regular cake recipe (just cut down the liquid a bit - you don't want it too runny, or you'll have pudding cake). As for using them for fried pies... I would think the "sauce" they're in would make an awful mess. If it's grapes, use them in a broccoli-chicken salad with a balsamic dressing and walnuts.

Thank you for this recipe! It makes my mouth water looking at the pictures. Just one more question on the freezing of them. Do you find they are a bit soggy once they have been cooked and then frozen. I make around 25 apple pies each fall but I freeze them all and then cook them when I want one. I find doing it this way the pies are not soggy. Just wondering if these can be frozen prior to frying. Thanks again, I can't wait to make some!

Yes, they can be frozen before they are cooked. I use waxed paper between each pie though, when they thaw alittle they tend to stick together. :-D And your very welcome.

Thanks again Amazon. I am geared up to make these this weekend!

Do you drain any of the liquid from the apples before adding the cornstarch mixture, or just add to the bowl with the apples, liquid and all?

Thanks. You were right. They don't last long. Unfortunately, I ate most of them.

I live in a Senior Housing Complex and made these yesterday for my neighbors....they were a Huge hit....Thank You very much, I will treasure this recipe. My 4 year old Granddaughter, who insisted she didn't like apple pie, ate a whole one and asked for more. She was visiting me while her Mom was at work.
