Fried Peach Pie

Oh this is the best. Yum Yum!

Heat vat of canola or peanut oil to 350 degrees

(I'm sure you could use this filling for a regular pie too. Fried pies sure are yummy though.)

Pie Dough (or get the frozen kind)

1 c flour

1t sugar

1/4 t salt

2 T cold butter

3 T shortening

Fork together the above ingredients. Then add ice cold water a Tablespoon at a time until dough forms.

Filling

5 ripe peaches

1 c sugar

1/2 c water

1 t cinnamon

1/4 t cloves

1/4 t ground ginger

1/4 t nutmeg

2 T cornstarch

Peel and slice the peaches. Combine all ingredients except the cornstarch in a saucepan and cook

for 20 min until peaches are cooked but still have a texture to them. (Mixture should be simmering.) Then mix cornstarch with 2 T water and add to peach filling. Boil for another minute. Cool in refrigerator. Filing should set.

Roll or cut dough into 6 inch diameter rounds. Spoon some filling and fold over dough and seal. then submerse into oil for 4 minutes. Be sure to watch the oil temp and keep it as close to 350 as you can.

Enjoy!
