Recipe Courtesy of Paula Deen Cook Time: 10 min
Difficulty: Easy
Oil, for frying
2 cans large buttermilk biscuits
1 (21-ounce) can apple pie filling
1/4 cup sugar, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon plus more for dusting
Flour, for rolling
Whipped cream, for garnish, optional
Confectioners’ sugar, for garnish, optional
Pour the oil into a large cast iron skillet about 1/2-inch up the sides and heat to about 350 degrees F.
Remove biscuits from cans, flour them and roll each 1 out to a 5-inch round. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of fruit filling on a round leaving a 1/2-inch edge all around. Place another rolled out round on top of the filling, pressing around the edges to seal. You should dip your fingers in water and wipe around the edge of the bottom biscuit to enable it to stick to the top biscuit. Dip end of dinner fork in flour and press continuously around edge to insure a proper seal. Repeat with remaining biscuits. Makes 8 or 10 pies depending on the amount in your biscuit can. Place 3 or 4 of the pies in the preheated cast iron skillet. Fry for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar while still hot. Serve with whipped cream and confectioners’ sugar, if desired.

I 2nd that I have type II diabetes and just as Paula say's you eat in moderation, we all do not eat like this EVERY day who could lol. Keep going on Paula.. Love You
By Sharon on February 07, 2012
Hey Annie, are you diabetic? I am you putz, and I have been for 15 years. You know what? BUTTER doesn't turn into sugar during metabolism, and neither does bacon. Diabetics can have all the butter they want, and it won't affect their blood sugar. Eat the whole damn STICK, and you'll test the same as if you ate nothing. Only sugar and starches are problems for diabetics, Ms. Know Nothing, and if you keep your sugar under control, you CAN have a treat once in awhile. No one said you gotta eat the whole plate of these things. If you've been 'good' all day, one of these for dessert isn't the end of the world. Who are YOU to decide what others can and can't eat? Take your god complex and shove it. No one made you the food gestapo.

Hey Annie how about you get a life and lesve your negative comments to yourself. Last time i checked Paula's recipes didnt come with a gun and an ultimatum. If you dont like her food or choose not to make it dont. Simple. And for your extreme last part of your comment, i hope you choke on the next bite of your "healthy" food, chalk full of "nutrients" you only know about because it says it on the box you idiot. Its people like you who think salt and pepper are seasoning and your food probably tastes like crap.Are you choking yet? I hope so

Here in ky we cook DRIED APPLES sweeten add cinnamon. To make our fried pies , much tastier, Sarah.
By Sarah gamble on January 24, 2012
Annie FYI your a jerk...If you are smart enough to cook your own food you should know what is being put in the recipes. As children we were taught the food pyramid, take responsibility for your self. I dont think there is nothing wrong with making a dollar, Paula needs to pay her bills to. By the way we as the viewing public dont own Paula, we watch (and enjoy) her on t.v.

Good Lord!!! Leave her alone. The fact that she has diabetes is nobody's business and has nothing to do with her recipes or her show. People need to back off! How dare you be so judgemental!

Hey Paula, how does it feel to push your unhealthy food recipes onto people when you know you have diabetes? ... What? anything for money you say? If you think those pills can help you all the way with diabetes then keep eating your sticks of butter and leave us alone sooner rather than later.

I'm going to stop using this web site. People rate recipes without having even tried them. This web site should provide a note asking only for reviews of the recipes, not silly comments to Paula or any other comments that don't provide feedback on how the recipes turned-out.
