Prepare the filling by combining the diced apples, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, butter, and water in a pan. Cook until the apples are tender.

Mix the cornstarch with 4 tablespoons of water and add it to the apple mixture to thicken.

For the dough, combine the flour, refined sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add the cooking oil and very hot water, mixing until a dough forms.

Roll out the dough and cut it into circles.

Place a spoonful of the apple filling on one half of each dough circle, fold over, and seal the edges.

Heat enough oil in a pan for frying. Fry the filled dough until golden brown on both sides.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon or powdered sugar before serving.
