Ingredients

Very Country APPLE TURNOVERS (FRIED PIES)

1 lb. dried apples, cooked tender and enough sugar to sweeten

4 tbsp. minute tapioca

Apple pie spice or cinnamon, clove and ginger (optional)

We like quite a lot of cinnamon. :)

Cook apples until tender add sugar, spice and tapioca stir while hot to mix all ingredients, allow to get cold.

CRUST:

2 c. sweet milk (warm)

1/2 c. Crisco

6 c. self rising flour

Sift self rising flour in bowl, round a hole in center as making biscuits.

Mix Crisco and warm milk in center and knead until stiffer than biscuits.

Roll in egg size balls. Set on side of rolling cloth.

Roll out dough the size of a saucer, fill one half with cold fruit, fold over and press around with fork.

Drop in hot shortening, turning twice.

Drain well on paper towels.

Wow I just showed this to my 12 year old son who by the way really loves pie and I think he has gone into shock. I mean really. If you eat one of these that better be all your eating for the day. We really love this and will try it soon. Thanks Lana. MJ

Folks..we USED to fix a LOT of fruit pies in the
South and on farms all over, but this is somewhat
RARE now, as they are so calorie laden..they are fabulous too..we Americans don't WORK or PLAY hard enough anymore to eat things THIS calorie condensed..except....
ocaccionally!! :()

I was raised on these and I loved them! Mine always taste great but they are never as pretty as yours.

They look so delicous and recipe seems easy enough,
1 questions: can you use fresh apples instead of dried?

Hi Janet..Re: country fried pies/tarts
ABSOLUTELY on the fruit pies..fresh fruit or most ANY fruit..
(apple, blueberry, blackberry, cherry, etc.,) no prob as long as
the texture is right and sealed real well on edges.) :)

We have made them with chocolate and lemon
filling.. (can be) a bit tricky, but very
do-able.
