RECIPE
Ingredients
Filling:
Filling:
- 5 OZ. BAG DRIED APPLES (CHOPPED)
- WATER
- 1/4 CUP SALTED BUTTER OR MARGARINE
- 1 CUP SUGAR
- 1 1/2 CUPS SELF-RISING FLOUR,
- 4 TBSP. SHORTENING
- 1/2 CUP MILK
- 1/2 CUP SUGAR
- 3/4 TSP. CINNAMON.
- Place apples in a non-stick saucepan with enough water to cover them. Add butter and sugar. Bring to a boil. Cook on medium heat. Continue to cook until apples have lost water and formed a heavy syrup. Watch close, so they do not burn
- Blend flour with shortening until shortening is pea sized. Add milk. Place dough on floured surface and flip 6-7 times. Roll out very thin. Incorporate enough flour into dough that you can pick up the sheet without it tearing.
- Use bottom of your rotary sifter to cut out round circles of dough. Place a large tablespoon of cooked apples in center of dough. Wet edges of round with a little water then fold dough over and press edges closed with a fork. These will be half-moon shaped pies.
- Preheat a 10” iron skillet on medium heat. Add CORN OIL 1” high. Just before dropping pies, add 4 TBSP. BUTTER to skillet. Add pies carefully with large, slotted spoon.
- Flip when pies are golden brown. Brown other side and remove. Place on a cooling rack, then roll in (or sprinkle) with cinnamon sugar while still warm.
Tip: Grease should be on medium heat, so dough has time to cook, do not have grease too hot. Use a test piece of dough if needed.
