It's no secret to anyone that knows me that I like food. I love fried food. I know it's unhealthy, but it's just so yummy. A few months ago my dad decided to buy a deep fryer. We didn't try it out until last night. Now that I've done it I don't think I'll ever stop! We had french fries with our dinner last night. Quite a simple task, just pull them out of the bag, drop them into the deep fryer, drain them and eat them. They were delicious! I added Old Bay seasoning on mine, which made them extra yummy.
This morning I woke up and had the urge to deep fry again. ' I've got time today', I thought, 'so why not?' I walked into the kitchen and there it was. It was calling my name. Hmm, what to deep fry, what a decision to make. I thought back to my favorite cooking show, Good Eats. Pocket pies, that's it! As I was anxious to use the fryer and had a somewhat busy morning, I decided to just do it the easy way. I stopped by the grocery store and picked up some refrigerated pie crusts and two cans of apple pie filling. This should be simple. So I researched on the internet and found the pocket pies recipe from the show and I compared it to the one in the deep fryer manual. Pretty much the same. I changed a little for my own comfort also.
I rolled out the pie crusts and sliced it into quarters. I opened the can of filling and noticing that the apples were kind of large, I chopped them down. I took my time and filled the first quarter. It was good. I rubbed on some egg wash and closed the sides using the tines of my fork. It was time for the fun part. I pulled off the lid of my fryer and laid one pie in the basket. Two minutes. Flip. Two more minutes. Beautiful. Extra special when sprinkled with cinnamon! So good! I can't wait to make these from scratch after we go apple picking in the fall!
