4 c Dried apples or peaches
2 c Water
1/2 c Sugar
1/2 ts Cinnamon
Fried pie pastry
Vegetable oil
Sugar
Combine apples and water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover,
reduce heat, and simmer about 30 minutes or until tender. Cool; mash
slightly, if necessary. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Divide pastry into thirds; roll each portion to 1/4 inch thickness on wax
paper. Cut into 5 inch circles.
Place about 2 tablespoons apple mixture on half of each pastry circle. To
seal pies, dip fingers in water, and moisten edges of pastry circles; fold
circles in half, making sure edges are even. Press edges of filled pastry
firmly together using a fork dipped in flour.
Heat 1/2 inch of oil to 375?F in a large skillet. Fry pies until golden
brown on both sides, turning once. Drain well on paper towels. Sprinkle
with sugar while warm.
