Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Prepare the Strawberry Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
Prepare the Dough: Roll the dough slightly thinner if needed and cut into circles or squares based on your preference.
Fill the Pies: Place a spoonful of cheesecake filling in the center of each dough piece. Top with a small spoon of strawberry filling. Brush the edges with beaten egg, fold over, and seal firmly with a fork.
Fry the Pies: Working in batches, fry the pies until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Finish and Serve: Dust the pies with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar while still warm. Serve immediately for the best texture.
