Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Cold water
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Fruit preserves (flavor of choice)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 large beaten Egg
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and work it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, mix cold water with apple cider vinegar. Gradually add this to the flour mixture, stirring until the dough comes together.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling by combining the fruit preserves, sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small saucepan. Heat on low, stirring occasionally until warm and well mixed. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
After the dough has chilled, lightly flour a surface with gluten-free flour. Roll the dough into a 1/4-inch thick sheet.
Cut out circles about 4 inches in diameter using a round cutter or a glass.
Place a spoonful of the fruit filling onto one half of each circle, leaving some edge clear. Brush a little beaten egg around the edges of the dough.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a semi-circle, and press the edges together gently with a fork to seal the pies.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower each pie into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the pies with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
Serve warm and enjoy the crispy, flaky gluten-free fried fruit pies.
