Ingredients

2 packages pie pastry
4 medium apples, peeled and diced
2-3 tablespoons butter
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon cornstarch
1½ tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Remove the pie pastry from the freezer about 45 minutes before using it.
Peel, core, and dice your apples.
Add butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, salt, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan.
Then add the diced apples and lemon juice. Mix until well combined. Simmer on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until thickened. Set aside to cool.
Roll out pie pastry, and cut each sheet of dough into six 3x4-inch pieces (or other desired shapes).
When ready, scoop a tablespoon or two of filling into each square.
Brush the edges with water, and then fold over. Crimp the edges of each rectangle with a fork.
Next, chill your pies for about 20 minutes in the freezer.
Heat 3 inches of oil to 350℉/177℃ in a deep pot. Cook two or three pies at a time for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and the pies are cooked through.
You can sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar or drizzle them with a glaze while they're still hot.
