Easy Fried Pies

  • 10

Ingredients

  • 6 Ounces Dried Fruit (i Used Peaches, can use apples, apricots, or other dried fruit) (6 to 7 oz.)
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 2 Cups Water
  • 1/4 Cup Butter or Margarine
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice (optional, but I use it)
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon (optional, but I use it) – if using apples, I add 1/4 tsp Allspice too
  • 10 – 15 Flaky Layers Biscuits

Preparation

Step 1

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. 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.
