Stars, Stripes & Sizzle: Deep-Fried All-American Apple Pies with AutoFry

Deep-fried Apple Pies - 4th f july blog

Nothing says Fourth of July quite like fireworks, fun, and food — especially when that food is fried to golden perfection! This Independence Day, we're serving up a delicious twist on a classic dessert: Deep-Fried All-American Apple Pies, made easy with AutoFry®.

Whether you're running a busy foodservice operation or just love delighting customers with festive treats, this recipe is a patriotic crowd-pleaser you’ll want on your menu.

What You’ll Need:iStock-822699944

  • 1 can of crescent roll dough
  • 1 can of apple pie filling 
  • Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Vanilla bean ice cream
  • A sprinkle powdered sugar 
  • AutoFry (of course!)

Let’s Fry Some Freedom:

  1. Assemble Your Pies:
    Roll out your crescent dough and cut into squares or rectangles. Add a spoonful of apple pie filling in the center of each square. Fold over and press the edges with a fork to seal. Pro tip: brush the edges with a little water to help them stick together.
  2. Freeze Before Frying (Optional):
    For best results and minimal mess, chill your hand pies in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes before frying. This helps them hold their shape and prevents filling from leaking.
  3. Fire Up the AutoFry:
    Drop your pies into the AutoFry and cook for about 3 minutes and 30 seconds, or until they're golden brown.
  4. Finishing Touches:
    Drizzle with warm caramel sauce, serve with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, and give it a dash powdered sugar. Boom! You’ve got yourself a red-white-and-blue-ribbon dessert.

Why This Recipe Rocks for the Fourth:

  • Minimal prep, maximum flavor — thanks to premade ingredients and the AutoFry’s fully enclosed system, these pies are a breeze to crank out during busy service.
  • Safe and ventless — no hood required, no open fryer hazards. Just consistent, crispy results every time.
  • Perfectly portable — ideal for food trucks, concession stands, beachside snack shacks, and anywhere hungry guests want to celebrate with something sweet, satisfying, and hand-held.

This July 4th, serve a dessert that pops as much as the fireworks. With AutoFry, you're just a few minutes away from deep-fried dessert glory.

Happy Independence Day from all of us at Motion Technology, Inc.!
