CRISPY FRIED APPLE PIES
My mother made these for years at home and for family reunions and for friends that would request them. They are a real treat for sure!

Steps:
- 1. Combine apples, water and sugar in large heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook on medium heat until apples are soft and most liquid is gone. Stirring occasionally.
- 2. When apples are done, cut and chop (cooked apples) with the side of a large spoon to make filling.
- 3. Add cinnamon or apple pie spice. Mix well. Cool at least 10 minutes.
- 4. Meanwhile, on floured surface, roll out biscuits into a 4 - 6 inch oval. Fill each biscuit with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of filling.
- 5. Fold over biscuit and crimp edges together, sealing well.
- 6. Melt shortening in heavy skillet and fry on medium heat(two or three pies at a time) for about 3 minutes on each side. Watch closely to prevent burning. NOTE: I have found that it is best to use CRISCO rather than bargain brand shortening. The cheaper shortening tends to burn the pies more quickly. CRISCO also makes for a crispier crust. Must be why my mama used it and nothing else.
- 7. When golden brown and done, remove from skillet with slotted spoon or spatula and place on paper towels to cool. NOTE: Even if they get a LITTLE burned or too brown, they taste good. These are the ones that my husband prefers.
