Aunt Helen's Fried Peach Pies image

This is my mother's recipe. Since my cousins remember her for her delicious fried pies at family reunions I named these Aunt Helen's. She also made fried apple pies.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pkg Sun-Maid dried peach halves (6 oz each)
4 c water
1 1/2 c sugar*
2 pinch salt
dash(es) nutmeg or cinnamon (optional)
2 can(s) Hungry Jack flaky biscuits
2 c Crisco (for frying)
MAY COOK FILLING AHEAD AND KEEP IN REFRIGERATOR FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS UNTIL READY TO USE.

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the first four ingredients in 2 qt heavy sauce pan. Bring to boil. Stirring occasionally.
  • 2. Boil for about 30 minutes on med/high heat then reduce heat to medium. Stirring occasionally.
  • 3. Continue to boil on medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 30 more minutes. As peaches become tender and syrup begins to thicken, mash and cut peaches with a spoon until they become like pie filling.
  • 4. Roll out biscuits on a floured surface to about a 5 inch oval shape (I use parchment because it won't stick).
  • 5. Fill the dough with about 1 1/2 tablespoon of cooled filling. Fold over and crimp and seal edges.
  • 6. Fry in skillet with about 1/2 inch deep (hot) Crisco. Fry on med/low heat 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Fry 2-3 pies at a time.
  • 7. Remove to absorbent paper towels.
  • 8. *Note: May use 1/4 cup less sugar if you don't like them as sweet.

These pies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. The filling was thick and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and crispy. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
