Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large apples (recommended: 1 Granny Smith and 1 Honeycrisp)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar

- 2 egg yolks
- 1/3 cup hot milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Peel, core, and dice the apples. In a saucepan, combine apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes until juices form.
- Mix apple cider with cornstarch in a bowl and add to the saucepan. Increase heat to high and cook while stirring for another 3 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
- For the dough, sift flour into a mixing bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly. In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks and salt; gradually stir in hot milk.
- Combine both mixtures until dough forms. Knead briefly on parchment paper.
- Divide into six pieces, roll into circles, fill with apple mixture, seal edges securely.
- Heat oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or deep saucepan. Fry pies for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Prepare glaze by whisking powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth; apply while pies are warm.
