5-Minute Pie

You read that right! Get ready to eat some pie, 'cause it's only five minutes away.

This super easy fried pie recipe utilizes premade ingredients to ensure you never have to wait for a piece of your favorite warm, flaky pie again! Keep a few different fillings on hand, and you'll be ready to entertain the troops at a moment's notice.

Step 1: Ingredients

Of course, you could use fresh ingredients for this pie (in fact, I used some fresh peach filling left over from Pie Pops) and a leftover pie crust, but prefab is the fastest route between your mouth and pie.

• Premade pie crust
• One can filling of your choice
• 1 1/2 cup oil (or enough to fry in)

Go ahead and start heating up that oil now (over med heat) so it will be ready for you when you're ready for it!

In holland, we fill these with apples and raisins and call them "appelflappen"

[MoustacheCat]

I think apple flappen are baked, and not fried, though

[AussieAnglerGal]

i personally use the name appelflappen instead of apple turnovers :D
its a much cooler name !

[Nelyan]

Am I the only one who grins about the name "appelflappen"? :D BTW, I think I'm gonna try these if I ever get a pie-lust.

oHHHH......one of my favourite memories of my trip to Amsterdam was "appelflappen". Is it really just a pie dough outer crust? Somehow the texture led me to believe the outer appelflap crust was more like a puff pastry-meets-pie crust? Wow, I would love to be able to replicate a dutch appelflappen at home, or even come close...

[Comakip]

Hmmm! Appelflappen! Delicious!

[PJEC]

If you had leftover meat, gravy and vegetables could you bake it and turn it into a pasty?

[ttaylor10]

PJEC, you are so right, pasty's are so good! You should do an instructable for the pasty deprived. :)

[Micizzle]

It looks like it. I love pasties b:

[begunia]

Me too!

[The Science Guy]

I don't think I can get ready made pie crust but I can get ready made shortcrust is it just the same

[Micizzle]

[pauli2]

It is not difficult as I thought it would be.

[antonio23]

Delicious hmmm...

[DHFabian]

Very similar to Russian piroshki/Polish pierogi. You can fill them with almost anything. My grandmother, an immigrant made them filled with a sort of white, sweetened cheese that was so good, but unfortunately, I don't have the recipe for it. I'm not even certain if it was sweetened cottage cheese or cream cheese.

[madmada]

Mmmmm pieroggi!!
My nan makes these with diced apple and sugar as a filling, or mashed potato and bacon, also sauerkraut ones too.
She boils them first, then fries them when they are ready to be eaten.

[Tkdwn]

MMm Piroška xd i take them for granted becoes of the fact that i have then in a bakery two houses away for $0.50-$1 sweet ones and salt ones.What would i do without them :( xdxd

[TerminalDragon]

YAY! 5 minute apple turnovers! WIN!

[melisa2]

Very good instructable and delicious pie!

[Galahir950]

Is there another way to make them without frying them because that is way too much fat.

[yasminekke]

You can put them in the oven or pan, but that's probable going to take more then 5min

[WhyHello]

I agree, there has to be another way =(

[MythicGirl221]

Come awn! That takes all the fun out of them!!

If you really want to, fry them in canola oil to make them crispier and delicious (nom nom) :[]

[Galahir950]

I would love to but medically I can only have about 30 grams of fat a day.
