Preparation

Step 1

Remove puff pastry from freezer, unwrap pastry and place on a floured work surface to thaw.

Meanwhile;
in a large saucepan over medium heat combine apples, lemon juice,
sugars, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well. Stir occasionally until mixture
begins to bubble.

Meanwhile combine water and flour in a mason
jar or container. Shake to combine. Add to pot. Continue boiling,
stirring constantly until apples are softened, approximately 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla. Set aside to cool.

In a heavy-bottomed pan with deep sides, heat about 1” oil to 350 degrees.

Meanwhile,
using a sharp knife cut each pasty sheet into 3 equal long pieces. Lay
pasty sheet strips out horizontally on floured work surface. Place ¼
cup apple pie filling on the left half of each dough strip. Moisten
your clean fingers and wet the edge of the pastry. Gently pick up the
right side of the dough and fold dough on top of the left side, encasing
the filling (if any filling seeps out push it back in).

Gently press along the edge with the tines of a fork.

Once all pies are
assembled fry them 2 at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes total, carefully
flipping them over halfway through. Remove pies from oil when they are a
nice golden brown. Place pies on a stack of paper towels. Sprinkle
them with sugar and cinnamon. Repeat until all pies
are cooked.
