FRIED PEACH PIES
Steps:
- In a large bowl, sift together flour and salt.
- Cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles large crumbs.
- Add water and stir until a dough begins to form.
- Turn dough out onto a work surface and begin kneading until you have a soft, uniform ball of dough. (dough will be very crumbly at first)
- Cut dough into 8 equal size pieces and roll into a ball.
- Place dough balls on a baking sheet and press them into a disc. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes or until ready to use.
- In a large saucepan, add peaches, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Toss to coat peaches in sugar.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat until peaches are tender enough to mash.
- Mash the peaches (I like to mash some and then cut the rest into small chunks)
- Allow the peaches to continue simmering until thickened and the juices have dissolved.
- Stir in butter and lemon juice.
- Stir in cornstarch if needed.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together powdered sugar and milk until silky. (may need to add more milk)
- Stir in a pinch of salt and vanilla extract. Set aside until ready to use.
- To assemble the pies, roll a dough ball out to about 5-6 inches wide.
- Place 2 tablespoons of peach filling in the center.
- Fold the dough over the peach filling and press the edges of the dough together firmly.
- Use a pizza cutter to trim the edges to make them neater.
- Crimp the edges with a fork to further seal the pie. Repeat these steps with the rest of the pies.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or deep skillet to 350 F.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place 2-3 pies in the oil and fry until lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes. (flip midway if needed)
- Place fried pies on a cooling rack.
- When the pies are done frying, brush one side with the glaze. Then, once the glaze has hardened, brush them once again.
- Serve once the final glaze has hardened.

Steps:
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, butter and 1 tablespoon water. Cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbling. Add the apples, vanilla, salt, cinnamon and lemon juice. Mix together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Pour into a heatproof bowl and let cool completely. You can make this ahead of time and chill in the fridge a day or so in advance if needed.
- To make the pies, roll each biscuit into about a 5-inch circle that is about 1/8 inch thick. Spoon 2 generous tablespoons of the apple filling on each round of dough, just off center. Use your finger and run a little water around the edges to help them seal completely. Fold one half of each circle over onto the other half and seal in the apple filling, forcing out any air that you can. Press the edges together and crimp with a fork. Continue until they're all assembled.
- Heat the oil in a high-sided skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F. Fry the pies 2 or 3 at a time for about 5 minutes, carefully turning them halfway through. Remove them to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
- When all the pies are fried, sift the confectioners' sugar over top. Serve with Cinnamon-Caramel Sauce or store-bought caramel sauce.
- Mix the brown sugar, half-and-half, butter and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, whisking gently, until it thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the vanilla, cinnamon and a second pinch of salt and cook another minute to thicken further. Turn off the heat and allow to cool to room temperature before serving. Chill if not using immediately.

Steps:
- Sift flour and salt together. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time and mix with fork. When the flour mixture is moistened, gather it into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Peel and dice the apples and place them in a saucepan. Combine the sugar and cinnamon; pour over the apples and toss to coat. Cook, covered, in a saucepan on low heat. Cook until soft, then mash with fork to form a thick applesauce. Allow to cool.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thick and cut rounds with a large cookie cutter (4 inches in diameter).
- In each round, place 1 heaping tablespoon fruit. Moisten edges with cold water, fold in half, and press edge with a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining pastry and filling.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Fry the pies, a few at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on each side; cook until the crust is golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
