Southern Fried Pies
Description
Southern Fried Pies begin by simmering dried or fresh fruit with sugar and enough water to create a soft, sweet filling. The pie dough is rolled out lightly floured, cut into large circles, and rolled again for a thin, workable crust. The fruit filling is spooned onto each dough circle, then folded over and sealed by pressing edges with a fork to form individual pies.
Each pie cooks in a skillet with melted butter, frying for about three minutes on each side until the crust is crisp and browned. The frying technique produces a flaky, buttery crust that crisps quickly while enclosing a warm, tender fruit filling. After frying, the pies are drained on paper towels to remove excess butter.
These fried pies are ideal as a warm dessert or snack, offering a portable option filled with sweet, cooked fruit encased in crispy dough.
