Fried Apple Pies

Enough said.

Ingredients

• 1 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup ice water
• 2 apples
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• confectioners' sugar

Directions:

1. Heat your oil in a medium skillet on medium-high.
2. Peel and dice apples and put in a small saucepan. Add sugar and cinnamon. Cook over low heat until soft then mash with fork to form thick applesauce.
3. Sift flour and salt together. Cut in shortening. Add water (strain out ice) and mix. Roll out dough until about 1/8" thick. Cut with biscuit cutter or something about 4" in diameter.
4. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of fruit in each round. Crimp pies closed with fork (if the edges won't stick, moisten them a bit before crimping).
5. Fry the pies 2 or 3 at a time until golden brown. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
