Instructions:
- Prepare the Apple Filling:
- In a skillet over medium heat, combine apples, sugar, cinnamon, and apple pie spice. Cook until the apples have softened.
- Prepare the Dough:
- Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface.
- Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out 11-12 circles from the dough.
- Assemble the Pies:
- Place a small amount of filling in the center of each dough circle.
- Moisten the outer edge of each circle with cold water, fold the dough over the filling to form a crescent shape. Seal by pinching the edges closed and crimping with a fork if desired.
- Frying the Pies:
- Heat oil in a deep-sided skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the pies for 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oil and let them cool on a paper towel-lined rack.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- Mix powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- Serve:
- Drizzle the icing over the warm pies and serve.
