Tiny Fried Apple Pies

• 2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tablespoon minute tapioca
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon allspice
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• Pie dough (store bought or homemade), chilled
• 1 quart vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
• 2 tablespoons buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. 1. Place filling ingredients in a large bowl and toss until well combined. Cut chilled dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll into equal rectangles about 1/4 inch thick. Onto one of the rectangles, place spoonfuls of filling (about 2 tablespoons each) in rows 1/2 inch apart. Place pies in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
2. 2. To make the egg wash, whisk together egg and heavy cream. Using a pastry brush, carefully brush egg wash onto dough between the rows of filling. Gently lay the second dough rectangle over top and press around each mound of filling. Cut 3-by-1-inch rectangles with a pizza cutter and press the back of a fork along the edges to seal.
3. 3. Preheat oil to 375u0b0F. Carefully begin frying pies, a few at a time, for 7 to 8 minutes or until golden brown. Drain pies on paper towels and allow to cool.
4. 4. Stir together the icing ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle icing over pies and serve.
