Fried Pies

Easy Fried 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) – if using apples, I add 1/4 tsp Allspice too

* 10 – 15 flaky layers biscuits



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. **OR USE PIE FILLING INSTEAD**



Roll each biscuit 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.
