Recipe - Fried Apple Pies

Made these awhile back and they are very good!!!

Fried Apple Pies

2 tablespoons butter
4 McIntosh apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
(8-piece) container refrigerated flaky biscuit dough
2 tablespoons water
Powdered sugar



Filling: Add the butter to a large saute pan and melt. Add the apples, sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the apples are soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.

When the filling is cool, roll the biscuits out on a lightly floured surface so that each biscuit forms a 7 to 8-inch circle. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling on each biscuit circle. Brush the edges of the circle with water. Fold the circle over the filling to make a half-moon shape. Seal by pressing the edges with a fork.

Preheat deep-fryer with oil to 350 degrees F.

Carefully add the pies to the oil, 1 at a time, and fry until golden brown, turning the pies as necessary for even browning, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar immediately.

Spaghetti Sauce

My friend Brian Spagnola gave me a copy of this spaghetti sauce. Said that it was his grandmothers. I have to say no more Ragu for me!!! This is very good stuff! Thanks Brian!!!

Spaghetti Sauce
1 Onion
1 Bell pepper
Garlic (10 cloves)
Basil - 1 bunch
1 tsp Red pepper
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
Black pepper
2 tbsp Olive oil
Chicken broth - 1/4 cup
2 Lg cans tomato sauce
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tsp garlic powder

Saute onion, bell pepper and 10 minced garlic cloves in olive oil. Add salt and crushed red pepper.

Once sauted place in blender with chicken broth and blend until smooth.

Move back to the pan you sauted in and add tomato sauce, sugar, garlic powder and black pepper to taste. Cover with a lid and simmer.

After an hour stir then stir every 20 minutes afterwards until you feel that it's ready, normally 1.5 - 2 hours but you can cook longer if desired.

When it's done add a bunch of fresh basil, remove from heat and serve.

* Make sure that you buy good quality tomato sauce. Dont buy the cheap stuff.

* I also add 1 pound of browned hamburger meat about 15 minutes before it's ready to be served.
