  2. Great fried dried apple pie recipe. Just the right amount of cinnamon in it. Will make these many more times. Thanks for sharing.
     
  3. This is exactly the way my mother taught me to make the pies and they are perfect. As a child I can remember her putting the dried apples in a pillow case and hanging them from the rafters upstairs.
     
  4. I used canned biscuits for the dough. Also, dried my own apples, my Mom did it for years. Saved them in 5 gallon lard cans, til ready to cook them
