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

Cut the pie crust into circles using a cutter or a glass.

Place a spoonful of fruit filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the crust over the filling to create a half-moon shape.

Seal the edges by pressing with a fork or crimping with fingers.

Prepare the egg wash by whisking an egg with a splash of water.

Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.

Carefully place the pies into the hot oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove the pies from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon while still warm.
