Fried Pies

The last hunting season My dad and I shared, we ate fried pies. I remember I had shot a deer, and he was bringing my truck to the field at the top of the hill I was coming up. As I crested the hill I saw him with my truck, and my stash of fried pies.
Ingredients:

2 cups All-Purpose Flour
½ cup Shortening, chilled
1 teaspoon Salt
½ cup Cold Water
2 Apples (Filling)
¼ cup White Sugar (Filling)
1/8 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (Filling)
Oil for frying

Directions:
​


Shift Flour and Salt together, than cut in the Shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add Cold Water 1 tablespoon at a time and mix with a fork. When the Mixture is moistened, gather it into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap (or zip top bag) and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Peel and dice the Apples, put them in a saucepan. Add the Sugar and Cinnamon to the Apples, toss to coat them. Cook, covered over low heat until soft. Mash with a fork to make a thick apple sauce. Allow this mixture to cool. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thick and cut rounds with a large cookie cutter (about 4 inches in diameter). In each round place a heaping tablespoon of Apple mixture in the center. Moisten the edges with cold water, fold in half, and press edges with a fork to seal. Heat oil in a large cooking vessel, to about 375 degrees. Fry a few pies at a time, only 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
