Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Gradually add the cold water, mix until the dough comes together, form it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the diced mixed fruit, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Toss to coat the fruit evenly and set aside.
-
Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out circles from the dough.
-
Place a spoonful of the fruit mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-circle shape and press the edges with a fork to seal.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet, fry the pies until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
-
Remove the pies and drain excess oil on a paper towel-lined plate. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
-
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
