"Apple Recipes Online"

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped

1 cup fresh cranberries*

1/2 cup sugar

2 tablespoons honey

1/8 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided

1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated piecrusts

Vegetable oil

1 tablespoon sugar

Cook first 5 ingredients and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a large saucepan over medium heat 5 minutes; reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes or until apples are tender. Cool completely, and drain.

Roll piecrusts to 12-inch circles; cut each crust into 9 (4-inch) circles.

Spoon 1 level tablespoon fruit mixture onto half of each pastry circle. Moisten edges with water; fold dough over fruit mixture, pressing edges to seal. Crimp edges with a fork dipped in flour.

Pour oil to depth of 1/2 inch into a large heavy skillet; heat to 350�. Fry pies, in batches, 2 minutes on each side. Combine 1 tablespoon sugar and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and sprinkle over hot pies.

*Thawed frozen cranberries or dried cranberries may be substituted for fresh cranberries.

Note: If you don't want to fry these irresistible pies, you can bake them instead. Place them on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 425� F. for 12 minutes or until golden and crispy.
