      Title: Mama's Fried Pies
 Categories: Pies, Pastry, Snacks, Fruits
      Yield: 6 Pies

      8 oz Dried peaches
      1 c  Sugar
      2 tb Butter
      1    Homemade pie crust or ready
           - made biscuit dough
           Oil; for frying

MMMMM---------------------HOMEMADE PIE CRUST--------------------------
  1 1/2 c  A-P flour
           Salt
    1/2 c  Shortening
    1/2 c  Ice-cold water

  Cook fruit in water until tender. Drain and mix with sugar and
  margarine. Mash well. Refrigerate overnight if possible. Roll out
  homemade piecrust dough and cut into saucer-sized circles.

  Spoon fruit onto circles and fold over into crescent shapes, then
  close the edges completely with a fork. Fry until golden brown.
  Place fried pies on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

  Variations:

  For baked pies, place crescents on a lightly-greased baking sheet
  in a 400°F oven until golden brown.

  For apple pies, use dried apples and add apple pie spice (or nutmeg
  and cinnamon) and vanilla to taste.

  For prune pies, use dry, pitted prunes and add vanilla to taste.

  Homemade Pie Crust:

  Place the flour and a dash of salt in a mixing bowl. Add the
  shortening and cut it in with a pastry blender or use your hands,
  as I do. Add the water, 1 ts at a time, kneading until the dough is
  smooth.
