Description

Delight in these crispy, golden stuffed cheesecake fried apple pies—a perfect blend of creamy cheesecake filling and sweet cinnamon-spiced apple pie, wrapped in flaky pie crust and fried to perfection. These handheld treats are ideal for dessert or a special snack, offering a delicious twist on classic apple pie.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts), softened

Cheesecake Filling

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Apple Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups apple pie filling, chopped
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Frying and Finishing

  • Vegetable oil (for frying; about 2 inches deep)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • Optional: cinnamon sugar (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy, then set aside.
  2. Cut out pie crust circles: Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Using a large biscuit cutter or a bowl approximately 4 inches in diameter, cut out circular pieces of dough for the pies.
  3. Fill the dough circles: Place about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling and 1 tablespoon of chopped apple pie filling (mixed with cinnamon) in the center of each dough circle.
  4. Seal the pies: Fold each dough circle over to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly with a fork to seal. Prepare an egg wash by mixing one egg with one tablespoon of water and brush it on the sealed edges to help secure them.
  5. Heat oil and fry: In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) with about 2 inches of oil. Fry the pies in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until they turn a golden brown color.
  6. Drain and coat: Remove the fried pies and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil. While still warm, optionally toss the pies in cinnamon sugar for extra flavor.
  7. Serve: Enjoy the pies warm or cooled. For an indulgent touch, drizzle with caramel sauce or dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure oil is at the correct temperature (350°F) for crispy, evenly cooked pies.
  • Do not overfill the pies to prevent leakage during frying.
  • Use a fork to firmly seal edges and brush with egg wash to avoid opening while frying.
  • These pies are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an oven to restore crispness.
  • Optional toppings like cinnamon sugar, caramel sauce, or powdered sugar add extra sweetness and texture.
