Ingredients:
2 (6-ounce) packages dried apricots |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
4-inch pastries |
vegetable oil |
sifted powdered sugar (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place apricots with water to cover in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes. Drain well, and mash. Stir in sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg; set aside.
2. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4-inch circles.
3. Place 1 tablespoon apricot mixture in center of each pastry circle. Moisten edges of pastry; fold in half, making sure edges are even. Press pastry edges firmly together using a fork dipped in flour.
4. Heat 1 inch of oil to 375° in a large skillet. Cook pies until golden brown on both sides, turning once. Drain well on paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
