How to make fried pies

After mentioning fried pies in two recent posts, I received these questions from some friends north of here: "What exactly is a fried apple pie? How does one fry a pie?" I told them it must be a Southern thang, so this is for all my Yankee friends.

Gather the ingredients - pie filling, canned biscuits, flour, oil.

Pie filling - this can be your choice, even canned pie filling. Here in Georgia we prefer apple or peach - fresh fruit, peeled, cut up, cooked and sweetened to taste - add cinnamon if you wish.

Canned biscuits? Of course you can make home made pie crust if you want, I prefer the quick-n-easy way. (click photos to enlarge)


gather ingredients

roll out biscuit

add filling to one half,
moisten edge with water

fold over

seal with fork

place in medium hot oil, turn once

and voila!
fried apple pies


Note - You could use the same oil to fry up some okra, unless y'all don't know what that is either?
