Cream Cheese Apple Pie Sopapilla Recipe
Everybody loves apple pie. It’s like the home-baked goodie that only the best grandma’s made (everyone’s of course). All that means, though, is that everybody’s had apple pie. I decided my recipe needed a little twist, so I combined apple pie with cream cheese. But was that wasn’t quite enough for me. I wanted my apple pie to be really unique. So I busted-out with this Cream Cheese Apple Pie Sopapilla Recipe. Yeah, you know you love me.
Ingredients for Cream Cheese Apple Pie Sopapillas
- 4 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbl oil
- 1 1/2 cup water
- oil for frying
- 2 large Honey Crisp apples
- 1 brick of Philadelphia cream cheese
- 2 tbl sugar to season apples
All of these ingredients, I got at my local Albertson’s.
Putting Together Cream Cheese Apple Pie Sopapillas
- Mix dry ingredients together and create a well in the center of the dry mixture.
- Pour your water and oil into the well and gently fold-in the dry into the wet until completely combined. This may require kneading it with your hands. Mine does every time. If the outside is flaking, sprinkle (just sprinkle) a little more water on the outside and knead.
- Set the ball of dough aside and allow to rest for 20 minutes. To keep anything icky from getting on it and to keep the dough ball moist, I like to put a damp paper towel over it.
- While the dough is resting, peel your apples and cut into tiny, bite-size bits. I like mine thin and flat, but I’d still eat it if they were small squares. Sprinkle sugar over the apples periodically to keep them from turning brown.
- This is also a good time to put your oil in your frying pan and let it get hot. It needs to be hot enough that when a little flour is sprinkled in the oil, it sizzles.
- Once your 20 minutes is up, roll the dough out into a flat surface, making it as close to an 1/8-inch thick as possible (thinner is fine, but no thicker than 1/8-inch).
- Cut squares or shapes out of the flat dough and pack a few bits of apple and a tablespoon of cream cheese in the center. Fold the dough pocket closed and crimp the edge with a fork.
- Place 1-2 of these adorable cream cheese apple pie sopapillas in the frying oil. Turn within just about 1 minute, as soon as the bottom becomes golden brown. Take them out and drain on a paper towel when both sides are all golden-y delicious. Repeat the frying process until all your dough is gone.
- Enjoy!
