Dear Amazon in Eva Alabama.. I made your mom-in-laws fried apple pies, Oh my gosh. They are delicious. super. I had never seen a recipe for pie dough made that way. Wow are they good. Just finished frying them, I have an apple tree in my yard and I picked half of them last night.My husband weighted them and it was 8 lbs, So I added a little flour to your 5cups, and it worked. Thank you and your MIL , goodluna in NM
