"This is a recipe from my Great Grandmother. I can remember going to her house and sitting down to a lunch of Fried chicken, mash potatoes, green beans, fried corn, biscuits and fried peach pies for dessert. It is a wonder we didn't all die from heart disease but that is country living. These directions were written for me real countryfied so I explained best I could but you will get the jist. Make dough, fill it and fry it!"

Hi, I can't wait to try your recipe! I just did not see where in the recipe the butter is used. I see butter as an ingredient for the dough but the directions call for shortening (Crisco). That's how my Mother made the dough also. Perhaps I'm just overlooking it...please let us know how the butter is used and how much to incorporate. Thanks, Jb

The ingredients call for butter. However the directions don't say when to add it. When do I add the butter ? ??

Oh thank you thank you thank you. My granny made these all the time for every family get-together. We all fought over them and begged to take home the leftovers. When she died, no one had ever been able to duplicate them. I was so excited to find this recipe and ran out and bought the ingredients. They were just like Granny's. I actually cried when I was eating them because it was just like seeing her standing there by that iron skillet smiling at us kids fighting over the pies. I love you for posting this.

Wow. These ARE old fashioned fried pies. I used dried apricots, and they fulfilled all the fried pie fantasies/memories in this house. The crust also works well w/ prepared pudding pie fillings (like chocolate & coconut cream), jams and marmalade. Thanks so much!

Such cute little hand pies! I had never fried pies before but this was a great introduction to the method as they were so easy to assemble. I found the peach filling too sweet for my taste though so next time I would halve the amount of sugar added

Very good and pretty easy! It was my first attempt at homemade dough I usually use biscuits.

I updated this to say I have made these a few times now, and recently made them with nice juicy Georgia peaches. Wow! were they good! May 28, 2008 I made these using Macintosh apples instead of the peaches, and they were wonderful! Brought back memories of when I was younger and my mama used to make them when I was little. Thank you for sharing Petdrwife! Cindy
