      Title: Apricot & Peach Fried Pies
 Categories: Pastry, Fruits, Snacks
      Yield: 18 Pies

MMMMM--------------------------DOUGH---------------------------------
      4 c  A-P flour
      2 ts Salt
      1 c  Shortening or lard
      1 c  Milk

MMMMM-------------------------FILLING--------------------------------
      8 oz Dried apricots
      6 oz Pkg dried peaches
    3/4 c  White sugar
           Water to cover
      2 c  Oil for frying

  TO MAKE CRUST: In a large bowl, mix together flour and
  salt. Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Mix in
  milk and stir until dough forms a ball. Roll out dough
  and cut into 18 6" circles. Set aside.

  TO MAKE FILLING: In a large saucepan, combine apricots,
  peaches, and sugar. Add enough water to cover fruit.
  Cover pan and cook over low heat until fruit is falling
  apart. Remove lid and continue to cook until water is
  evaporated.

  Place oil or shortening in small high-sided skillet.
  Place over medium heat. Spoon equal amounts of filling
  into each pastry circle and fold in half. Seal pastry
  with a fork dipped in cold water.

  Fry a few pies at a time in hot oil, browning on both
  sides. Drain pies on paper towels.

  COOK'S NOTE: If you use shortening, like Crisco, melt it
  so it's 2" deep.
