Fruit Filling for Fried Pies Recipe
YIELD
Filling for 6 large (6 to 7 inch) or 12 small (3 to 4 inch)
TIME
Active Prep: 5 min
Cook: 10 min
INGREDIENTS
- 3 cups fruit of choice, sliced or diced, peeled if fruit has skin*
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp. Supreme Saigon Cinnamon
- 1 tsp. Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract
- 1 to 2 Tbsp. liquid (water, juice, etc.)*
- 1/2 to 1 Tbsp. cornstarch*

NOTES
*High pectin fruits work best (e.g. apples, berries, cherries, peaches, etc.). Adjust the liquid and cornstarch ratios according to pectin level of fruit: Use 1 Tbsp. liquid + 1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch for high pectin fruits and 2 Tbsp. liquid + 1 Tbsp. cornstarch for low pectin fruits. Use this filling in our Amish Style Fried Pies or Vegan Amish Style Fried Pies recipes. #HolidayPies
DIRECTIONS
Combine fruit, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until fruit’s juices start to release, 2 to 3 min. In a small bowl, make a slurry by whisking liquid and cornstarch together until cornstarch is dissolved. Stir slurry into fruit. Increase heat to high and cook, stirring constantly, until fruit filling is thickened, 2 to 4 min. Remove from heat and let filling cool to room temperature. Use 1 to 2 Tbsp. of filling per piece of fried pie dough, depending on the size of the dough. Cover and refrigerate filling if not using right away. #HolidayPies
