Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil (solid state)
• 0.75 cup Cold water
• 2 cups Chosen fruit filling (such as apple, cherry, or peach)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut in the solid coconut oil until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add the cold water to the flour mixture, stirring just until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently to form a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine your chosen fruit filling with granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry. Stir this into the fruit mixture and cook until the filling has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Once the filling is ready, remove it from heat and let cool completely.

Step 7

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into 10 equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 5 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Place about 2 tablespoons of fruit filling onto one half of each dough circle. Fold the other half over the filling and press the edges together to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork for extra security.

Step 9

In a heavy skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Carefully add the pies to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the pies from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious dairy-free fried fruit pies!
