Fried Apple or Peach Pies Directions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples or peaches, granulated Stevia or Erythritol, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is tender and the mixture has thickened (about 10 minutes).
- Dissolve the cornstarch in water and add it to the fruit mixture. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until the filling is thick and glossy. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Roll out the reduced-fat pie crusts on a lightly floured surface and cut into 8 equal-sized circles (about 4-5 inches in diameter).
- Place a spoonful of the cooled fruit filling in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
- Spray a large, deep saucepan or skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium heat.
- Carefully add the pies to the heated pan, a few at a time, and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the pies from the pan and drain on paper towels.
- Allow the pies to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm.
