2cupscanola oil(enough to fill the deep pan/pot you are using 1″ deep with oil)
1cupcup powdered sugarsprinkling
Instructions
Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and set aside.
Add the peaches, sugar, and cornstarch to a medium pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir until thickened. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Unroll the pie crusts onto a lightly floured surface and cut out 8 rounds from each crust using a 3 1/2 inch cookie cutter. (You can cut 9 pie dough circles out of each crust if you are a cookie cutter master.).
Spoon two teaspoons of the completely cooled sweet peach mixture in the center of each round.5. Moisten the edge of the dough with water. Fold the dough over creating a half circle. Press to seal being sure to remove any holes along the edges. Extra Charm! Use a fork along the edge for a vintage seal, or pinch the dough to add a ruffled pie shop edge.
Place the pies on a cutting board or cookie sheet and cool in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Add the extra sugar to a small bowl or plate. Set aside.
Fill a large skillet with one inch of oil and heat to 350°F.
If you don’t have an oil thermometer on hand, drop a small piece of leftover dough into the hot oil. It is ready when it floats, sizzles, and turns golden brown quickly.
Fry the pies in small batches of three or four one minute on each side. They will turn a beautiful golden brown.
Remove the pies from the oil and place each in a single layer on the prepared lined pan.
Give each Little Fried Peach Pie a good roll in the sugar!
They are ready to share! Serve them on a platter covered in sugar or bag them up for a picnic.
Notes
SPARKLE TIP: ONCE THE PIES ARE SEALED, YOU CAN STORE THEM IN A SEALED BAG FOR ONE MONTH IN THE FREEZER BEFORE FRYING. HOW ABOUT THAT?! I DO RECOMMEND THAWING BEFORE FRYING.
