Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough (1 can, 8 oz)
- 1 cup canned diced apples (drained)
- ¼ cup cinnamon sugar (2 tbsp cinnamon mixed with 1/4 cup sugar)
- 2 cups neutral cooking oil (for frying)
- ½ cup powdered sugar glaze (1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp milk, 0.5 tsp vanilla, pinch cinnamon)
Instructions
- 1
Unroll crescent dough and pinch seams closed to form 4 rectangles. Divide apples and cinnamon sugar evenly among them.
- 2
Fold each rectangle in half lengthwise, then seal edges by pressing with a fork. Set pies aside on a plate.
- 3
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until a piece of dough sizzles immediately when dropped in, ~3 minutes.
- 4
Slide 2 pies into oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, ~1 minute per side. Transfer to paper towels; repeat with remaining pies.
- 5
Whisk powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over warm pies.
- 6
Let cool 1 minute before serving. They'll firm up as they cool.
