I caught my husband eating one in the kitchen while no one was watching. They were so good.

Deposit about 1 tablespoon of apple pie trim on one side of each dough circle, leaving a generous seam. Brush this seam with a little water to help seal before folding the other half of the dough.
Either use a fork to squeeze the edges together, or fold them up little by little. Pinch, as you would for an empanada.
Fill a large deep frying pan with canola or vegetable oil 5 to 7 cm deep. Place the stove on high fire. Once the oil has reached 180oC, place no more than three pies at a time, frying them until they are golden on both sides, for about 4 minutes. Transfer the pies onto a plate covered with absorbent paper to allow them to cool. Repeat with the remaining hand pies, ensuring that the oil never exceeds 190oC.
While the pies are still hot, mix the remaining teaspoon of ground cinnamon with about 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and sprinkle generously onto the crusts. Serve hot.
