This is a very simple and easy recipe to make. It is just like Grandmas Fried Apple Pies.
This is what you are going to need
Ingredients.
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup shortening
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup water
2 Large size apples peeled and diced up
1 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 cup of sugar
Combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine egg and water, and sprinkle lightly over flour mixture. Lightly stir with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Shape into a ball.
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for 30 mins.
Place diced apples in a sauce pan with the sugar and cinnamon add enough water to cover the apples and cook it down to an apple sauce.
Set aside and cool.
Take dough from refrigerator and
Pinch off pieces of dough to make balls slightly smaller than ping pong balls.
Roll each ball out until thin.
Add a heaping spoonful or two of apples to one side of rolled dough. After the first couple, you will learn exactly how much apples to place on the dough. If you put too much, the dough will not cover without tearing.
Dip your finger in water and rub around the edges of the dough where the apples are.
Carefully fold the dough over and press the edges together lightly to seal. Using a fork, crimp the edges to fully seal.
Once all the pies are ready, add about ½ cup Crisco shortening and 2 tablespoons butter to a large skillet and heat on medium-high.
Once the grease is hot enough to sizzle from a drop of water, carefully lay two or three pies in the skillet Cook about a minute to a minute and half on each side until they are golden brown. Dust with confection sugar. Lay pies on a plate lined with paper towels and serve immediately.
