I've made these more times than I'd care to count now...this is almost "identical" to our family recipe, with the exception of...I use cold butter in place of shortening and add just a pinch more salt to the dough. The salty taste with the puncy cinnamon of the apples is wonderful. We also use chunky applesauce & sometimes the home-made apple brandy butter we have on hand as the filling with a few choped pecans for an extra special surprise!

"Divine" and "Holy COW!" were just a few of the reactions these tasty, flaky little pies received from my guests. The ratio of apples to crust was perfection, so there isn't much of a need to change this recipe at all. STILL...because I'm always tweaking things, I did add a tbsp butter, 2 tbsp flour and more spice to the apples (1/2 tsp cloves, 1/2 tsp nutmeg) while they were cooking. The results were tender, fragrant, tiny bites of bliss! A must try!

My children loved these! I used other reviewers' suggestions: I did not mash the apples. Just be sure to chop the apples into small pieces and the result will be perfect. I added more "autumn" seasonings to the apples while cooking them. After frying, I sprinkled a mix of powdered sugar and cinnamon over the tops of these wonderful pies. Thank you for a great, easy, delicious recipe!

Maybe I'm missing something, but where's the ingredient list for the filling? I made my own with a little flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple. So really, I suppose I'm just reviewing the crust...which was average, worked fine but nothing exceptional. Next time I'll do a donut glaze, powdered sugar didn't really seem like the best fit for a topping, but definitely needs sweetness on the crust...

I used this basic recipe for a fried fruit pie, but I made a different filling. Delicious! The crust is great, and it's easy to make.

This was not my favorite. They had an oily taste and the crust was too thin. Not sure what I did wrong.

I like the apple mixture, though next time I will go with 1/2 cup of sugar. Need more work on my pie crust! Thanks for the recipe.

Excellent pastry!!! I had already made apple pie filling for a big pie but decided to try fried pies instead. I had my 7 year old son do the pastry and it was a breeze for him, so easy to work with. I did add a bit of sugar to the pastry mix to sweeten it up a bit but other than that, we followed it exactly as written and it worked perfectly. I refrigerated the pies but a bit before frying, so we would have the whole lot rolled and filled before heating up the oil. Always a good suggestion to keep short pastry cold before using. Thanks!!

This recipes was so easy and delicious. I have made it 3 times in the last week! My husband and 3 year-old son can't get enough! Make sure you don't have the heat too high. I put it on low-medium and they cooked more evenly and the color was more appealing. It gets easier every time you cook it.

I made these following the recipe exactly and they were so yummy! A couple of tips: roll the dough as thin as you can get it without it forming holes- this makes them easier to fry. Also, medium high heat was much too hot on my stove as I burned the first two pies in a matter of seconds. I ended up frying them on low-medium heat instead.

I gave it 4 starts because the filling was great! I read lots of reviews on this one & did make some modifications. I used brown sugar (1/2 c) rather than white, used cornstarch w/ lemon juice to thicken (1 TBS each - could have used a little more) and went ahead & used the Grands biscuits as so many others suggested. I would not recommend using Grands buttery flaky biscuits though. I thought their flavor really distracted from the flavor of the filling & did not complement it at all. And even thought I rolled them out as thin as I could, a few seconds later they would draw back up, thicker than I wanted. I also baked them rather than frying - the edges did not stay together! When I flipped them half way thru in the over I tried pressing them together again on the opposite side, but for the most part that did not help. I can't imagine what would have happened had I tried to fry them. Next time I will try a different variety of biscuits or will try to make the dough from scratch using butter instead of shorting.

I made the recipe as-is except used half butter/half shortening for the dough. Wow! After being fried the dough was exceptionally flaky and apple mixture inside was wonderfully warm and delicious. Great recipe!

This was pure heaven! I made this for a dessert dish for a last minute gathering at my house with friends and it was gone in seconds! Very nice flavor and extremely flakey. I used butter because I never use shortening...it's so bad for you. I think eventually I will give in and use it at least once because my MIL swears by it. Thank You again!!
