1. Add filling ingredients to a pot over medium heat and stir until butter has melted and preserves have dissolved. Set aside to let cool.
-
2. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
-
3. Use your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles cornmeal.
-
4. Slowly add the ice water and gently form the dough into a ball. If it is looking too dry, add more ice water.
-
5. Divide dough in half and work with one ball of dough at a time.
-
6. Sprinkle a work surface with flour and roll a ball of dough out until it is just a little thicker than a tortilla. Cut it into 6-inch circles using a bowl that measures 5 inches across the top. Set scraps aside.
-
7. Roll out the second piece of dough and cut as many 6-inch circles as will fit.
-
8. Combine all scraps and reroll to get another circle.
-
9. Put about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each circle of dough.
-
10. Fold circles in half, wetting your fingers with water to seal the edges. Make sure edges are completely sealed and crimp edges with the tines of a fork.
-
11. Heat about 2 to 3 inches of oil in a Dutch oven or deep-sided frying pan. The oil is hot enough when you drop a small piece of dough into it and it immediately sizzles.

12. Fry two pies at a time until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a cooling rack
