  • Separate biscuits; cut each biscuit in half horizontally. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of biscuit dough into a 4-inch circle. Place about 1 tablespoon pie filling onto each half circle. Fold opposite side of circle up and over filling. Brush edges with a little milk; seal edges with tines of a fork. Place filled turnovers 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

  • Frying Directions:
  • In deep fat fryer or deep, cast iron skillet, heat oil to 350 degrees.
  • Drop turnovers into hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, turning turnovers with a wire mesh spatula. Remove from hot oil to a wire rack. Cool slightly on a wire rack.
