Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine the apples or peaches, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the fruit is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into circles using a 4-inch cookie cutter.
5. Place a tablespoon of the fruit filling in the center of each circle. Fold over and press edges with a fork to seal.
6. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the pies in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
7. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
