Ingredients for the Apple Pies Filling
- 8 medium apples
- 1 cup raw cane sugar or any type
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
- 4 tablespoons butter or margarine
Ingredients for Topping the Apple Pies
- 2 cups Cinnamon Sugar
- Additional Ingredients
- 2 puff pastries store-bought or homemade
- Vegetable oil sufficient for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice and mix apples with sugar, pumpkin spice, and cornstarch.
- Roll out puff pastry, cut into rectangles, and fill one half with the apple mixture. Seal edges.
- Combine cinnamon and sugar in a bowl.
- Fry pastries in hot vegetable oil for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain excess oil.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake pies on a sheet for 10-12 minutes until puff pastry is fully cooked and golden.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your homemade Popeyes Apple Pies.
Notes
- If you don't have pumpkin spice, you can create your own by mixing cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice according to your taste preference.
- The apples should be thinly sliced to ensure they cook evenly. You can use a mandoline or a sharp knife to achieve this.
- Be careful while frying the pies as the oil can splatter. Use a splatter guard or cover the skillet partially with a lid to prevent any accidents.
- You can adjust the amount of sugar in the filling according to your preference and the sweetness of the apples you are using.
