List of Ingredients
Deep Fried Apple Turnovers
2 c. dried apples
1/2 c. sugar
2 T. butter
1 tsp. cinnamon
pastry for 2 (9 inch) pies (you'll need a
good pastry dough)
Pastry
2 1/4 c. flour
2/3 c. shortening or lard
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 c. cold water
Recipe
Soak dried apples in 1 1/2 cups warm water.
Cook until tender.
Drain off most of juice.
Add sugar, butter and cinnamon to apples.
Roll out pastry as for pies, cut into 4- to 5-inch circles.
Place several spoonfuls of apples on half of circle; moisten edges and then fold over half of the circle.
Press together edges securely.
Fry in deep fat at 375 degrees for about 4 minutes, until brown on both sides.
Cook's notes: As my mother did, you may bake them for about 20 minutes at 375 degrees. I, as my granny did, pan fry mine in 1 inch of oil in an iron skillet.
Brown on one side; flip and brown on the other. Stay with them so they don't burn.
Pastry
Combine flour and salt; cut in shortening or lard with a pastry blender or two knives. Blend until particles are the size of peas. Add water - a little at a time - until all flour is damp. Knead just a little on floured board.
Roll out and cut in circles with a saucer, or use as one whole crust for regular pie.
Cook's note: You will need to do this recipe twice for fried dried apple pies.
