Ingredients

Preparation
Step 1
Peel the apples, chop into small pieces, and place in a pot. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until mixed.
Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes (or until apples have softened). Remove from heat and let cool for 30 minutes.
With a sharp knife, cut two sheets of ready-rolled pastry into 4 strips each. With your finger, lightly wet the edges of each strip.
Place 2 teaspoons of the apple mixture on one half of each strip. Fold the pastry over, and press a fork into the edges to create little grooves around the pie. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a wok or deep-fryer. To gauge whether it's hot enough, dip a small piece of puff pastry into the oil. If the pastry sizzles and browns in 10 seconds, it's hot enough.
Fry the pies in the oil, two at a time, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes (or until golden), gently flipping for even coverage. Once pies are golden, gently lift them out of the pan with a slotted spoon, allowing the oil to drain into the pan; then place on a plate lined with paper towels.
Enjoy!
