Fried Nutella Banana Hand Pies

1. Roll out the pie crust to 1/8 inch thick. Use a 4” round cookie cutter to make circles of pie dough.
2. Top with 1 tablespoon of Nutella and a few pieces of sliced banana.
3. Brush the beaten egg around the edge of the pie crust and then fold it over. Very gently, use a fork to pinch the edges together without breaking through the pie crust. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to fry.
4. Bring the vegetable oil up to 375ºF in a large heavy pot.
5. Gently add the pies, a few at a time, to the hot oil and gently fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
6. Gently remove from the oil with a slotted spoon or strainer. Quickly drain on a paper towel.
7. Generously sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve hot. (These stay hot for a long time!)
