  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Holiday, Pies

 Ingredients List

  • Filling
  • 6-7 ounces dried fruit (I used peaches, can use apples, apricots, or other dried fruit)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice (optional, but I use it)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, but I use it)
  • Dough
  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 1 Tsp salt
  • 1/2 Cup shortening
  • 1/2 Cup of milk (can add a little more if needed)

 Directions

1. Place dried fruit in a pot and add water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer until fruit is tender. Add other ingredients and mash together with a potato masher or fork. Set aside while dough is prepared.

2. In medium bowl, place flour and salt. Stir together. Cut in shortening with a long tined fork. Add in milk and stir until dough sticks together.

3. Divide into ten portions. Roll each portion out on a floured surface into a five or six inch circle. Place two tablespoons of filling in each. Wet the edges and fold over, crimping with a fork.

4. Cook in oil which has been heated on medium heat, until browned on both sides, turning as needed. Remove to paper towel lined plate.
