How to Make Stuffed Cheesecake Fried Apple Pies
Prepare Your Apples: Begin by peeling and slicing your apples into thin wedges. Toss them in a bowl with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In another bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, and one egg until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps for that dreamy texture.
Roll Out Your Dough: If you’re using homemade pie dough, roll it out on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Cut it into circles using a cookie cutter or glass.
Assemble the Pies: Place some apple mixture and cheesecake filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold over and crimp edges with a fork to seal tightly.
Fry to Perfection: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully add each pie to the hot oil—fry until golden brown on both sides.
Drain and Serve Warm: Remove pies from oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess grease. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for extra flair!
