Remember when people used the real fat/lard for cooking, and it was usually kept in the refrigerator.
An alternative for this recipe would be to use Butter Flavored Crisco for frying. Yum Yum
Ingredients:
Double Pie Crust
Stewed (dried) apples
Deep fat
Directions:
Roll crust on a floured board. Cut with a large, round cookie cutter. Put about 1-1/2 tablespoons sweetened, seasoned (a little vanilla, a little cinnamon), chunky cooked apples in each round. Moisten edges with cold water, fold to make semi-circle and press edges together. Fry in hot fat and drain well on paper towels when crispy brown.
Some folks like to sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top for visual appeal, but I like mine just the way they come straight out of the hot fat. Add a dollop of ice cream on the top, while they are still hot!!!
If you don't like apples, try this with peaches, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries or any like fruit of choice.
