Fried Apple Pies

Take biscuits out of the can and separate. Roll out each biscuit until dough is about 5-6 inches in diameter. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of apple sauce onto each dough circle. Gently spread out the filling onto 1/2 of the dough. Don’t go all the way to the edge though, you need to be able to seal the edges. Fold the 1/2 of each dough circle with no filling over the 1/2 with filling. Your pie should be in a half moon shape. Using your fingers or the tines of a fork press the edges together to seal. Prick the top of the pie once with the tines of a fork to let steam escape while frying. Repeat with remaining pies.

Fill the bottom of a large frying pan with 1/4-inch of oil. Heat oil over medium heat. Fry two to four pies at a time, fry until one side is golden brown, then turn and fry the other side. Remove from oil and let drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
