Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Unroll crescent dough and pinch seams closed to form 4 rectangles. Divide apples and cinnamon sugar evenly among them.

  2. Step 2

    Fold each rectangle in half lengthwise, then seal edges by pressing with a fork. Set pies aside on a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until a piece of dough sizzles immediately when dropped in, ~3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Slide 2 pies into oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, ~1 minute per side. Transfer to paper towels; repeat with remaining pies.

  5. Step 5

    Whisk powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over warm pies.

  6. Step 6

    Let cool 1 minute before serving. They'll firm up as they cool.
