Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tube Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and the mixture is thickened.
Stir in the vanilla extract and remove the skillet from heat. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out each biscuit from the refrigerated dough into a 6-inch circle.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled apple filling onto one half of each rolled-out biscuit. Fold the other half over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges together firmly. Use a fork to crimp the edges to seal them completely.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place 2-3 turnovers at a time into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining turnovers.
Optionally, dust the fried turnovers with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
