fried peach pie

 

 

I love fried pies and these are so good!

 

2 6oz packages dried peaches
1/2 c sugar
2 T fresh lemon juice
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg

egg pastry
vegetable oil

Cook peaches according to package directions;
drain and mash. Combine with sugar, lemon juice and spices.
Roll out pastry; cut into 5 inch rounds. Place 3 tablespoons
peach filling on half of each round. Moisten edges with water.
Fold in half, pressing edges with fork to seal. In skillet,
fry pies in 1 inch of hot oil, 375 degrees, until golden brown
on each side, turning only once. Drain well on paper towels.

Egg Pastry

3 c flour
1 t salt, optional
1 c shortening
1 egg, beaten
4 T cold water
1 t vinegar

Combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until mixture resembles
coarse cornmeal. Combine egg, water and vinegar; sprinkle over
flour mixture, stirring lightly to form a ball. Wrap in waxed paper;
chill at least 1 hour or until ready to use. Makes 1 1/2 dozen pies.

Dried apples or 2 c cooked mashed sweet potatoes can be
substituted for peaches.
