for shortening do you use margarine or Crisco?

Thanks for the recipe. I make a lot of pies, but have never
triedd the fried pies. I have found anything you make that
is time consuming is usually well worth it. I'm anxious to
make them.

My MIL and my husband use to make these all the time. Needless to say I could never get enough. They have both passed away and I had forgotten about the fried pies and how much I loved them. I am so glad you posted the directions.Thank You

A couple of questions. And yes, I know they wouldn't be "fried" pies but have you ever tried baking these? If so with what results?
Ever add any cinnamon to the filling?
My DH loves fried pies but asked if they could be baked instead.

Yes, they bake up very nicely, just turn them so that both sides get nice and brown. :oops: :oops: Yes, another thing I forgot to add,it is optional though. I use 1/4 teaspoon to the 3lb. bag of apples.

Isn't it amazing how many memories we have that are tied to food. :-D

I use Crisco,there is also a butter flavored . With real butter , its fries up a little different, I have used both together in a batch, came out nice too.

So glad that everyone is enjoying this recipe. I want to add that any filling works great. Over the years I have tried all kinds. Some of my favorites are cinnamon, chocolate, sweet potato, strawberry , fig and blueberry. I have even made pecan pie fried pies , yummy but oh, so rich. I guess the skies the limit or as we say whatever melts your butter. I fried another 30 today(apple & cinnamon) and made chocolate oatmeal no-bake cookies for my DD's teachers and Principal and office staff.Next week I'm making Honeybun cake for my boys teachers and office staff.I love this time of year for both baking and of course quilting. Happy baking, frying :thumbup:

Oh, does this bring back memories. My Mother use to make fried pies with the apples from the tree next to our house.
