Impressive apple pies!

You are craving pie. The frozen variety are expensive and not tasty unless you are into overly-sweet fillings and cardboard crust. Besides, you probably don't have a pie pan in your dorm room. Here is an easy way to enjoy a hot apple pie with not too much effort.

Refrigerated biscuits - the ones in the tube container, get generic to save money
Oil for frying
Canned apples or a chunky jam or fruit filling

Heat your oil but don't start a fire! Roll out one of the biscuits into a circle about four or five inches in diameter. Put some filling in more towards one side of the circle. Dab the edge of one side of the dough with water to help form a seal. Fold over, press down gently all around and then press the same edge with a fork to make it look professional.

Deep fry until golden on each side. You want your oil hot but not smoking. If the turnover pie cooks too quickly, the inside might not get done. Drain each turnover pie on paper towel and sprinkle with sugar.
