Prepare pie crust by rolling it out on a floured surface.

Cut the pie crust into circles large enough to hold a spoonful of filling.

Spoon pecan pie filling onto the center of each pie crust circle.

Sprinkle chopped pecans over the filling.

Fold the crust over the filling to create a pocket and seal the edges with an egg wash.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Carefully lower the filled pockets into the hot oil, a few at a time.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon while still warm.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
