Old-Fashioned Fried Apple Pie Recipe: Easy and Delicious!

I love making this fried apple pie recipe that was given to me from a lady that was famous for her apple pies in this area. They are so easy to make and you can easily adjust the amounts to make the quanity you need. You will need the following ingredients:

Add them to a small saucepan and add the sugar. Turn the stove to medium low and cook the apples until the sauce is thick and the apples are soft. This will take about 20 minutes or so. Do not add any liquid as the sugar and the apples will create their own liquid.

Place a little flour on a flat surface and roll the biscuits out into a flat circle.

Add a spoon of apples and then fold the dough over and crimp the edges. Tip: I crimp the edge and then I go back around and fold it over again and crimp the edge one more time. This keeps the pies from coming open during the frying process.

I use a fry daddy to fry my pies. I just fill it up to the line needed for oil and then I fry one pie at a time. This does not take long and I usually fry one while I am rolling another pie out. You can also fry these pies in a heavy bottomed pan. When the pies are done place them on a wire rack to drain. Enjoy!

Note: You can make these pies using any fruit you enjoy and for a shortcut you can use store bought pie filling.

I like to serve these warm, dusted with a little powdered sugar. You could add a glaze or some cinnamon sugar when the the pies are still warm.
