Fried Pies.........

















Ok....i know i have had more posts about food than any other thing these past months. BUT i'm always hungry and always up for a good recipe! :) I just want to say ....THANK YOU to the Southern Plate Blog for this yummy recipe......


Fried Peach Pies
Filling

■6-7 ounces dried fruit (I used peaches, can use apples, apricots, or other dried fruit)
■1 cup sugar
■2 cups water
■1/4 cup butter or margarine
■1 T lemon juice (optional, but I use it)
■1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, but I use it)
Dough

■2 Cups Flour
■1 Tsp salt
■1/2 C shortening
■1/2 C of milk (can add a little more if needed)
Place dried fruit in a pot and add water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer until fruit is tender. Add other ingredients and mash together with a potato masher or fork. Set aside while dough is prepared.

In medium bowl, place flour and salt. Stir together. Cut in shortening with a long tined fork. Add in milk and stir until dough sticks together. Divide into ten portions. Roll each portion out on a floured surface into a five or six inch circle. Place two tablespoons of filling in each. Wet the edges and fold over, crimping with a fork.

Cook in oil which has been heated on medium heat, until browned on both sides, turning as needed. Remove to paper towel lined plate.
