Homemade Fried Peach Pies

Homemade Fried Peach Pies Filling 1 Tablespoon lemon juice ( I use it) 6-7 ounces dried fruit (I used peaches, can use apples, apricots, or other dried fruit) 1 cup sugar 2 cups water ¼ cup butter or margarine Dough ½ teaspoon cinnamon 2 Cups Flour 1 Tsp salt ½ Cup shortening ½ Cup of milk Place dried fruit in a pot and add water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer until fruit is tender. Add other ingredients and mash together with a potato masher or fork. Set aside while dough is prepared. In medium bowl, place flour and salt. Stir together. Cut in shortening with a long tined fork. Add in milk and stir until dough sticks together. Divide into ten portions. Roll each portion out on a floured surface into a five or six inch circle. Place two tablespoons of filling in each. Wet the edges and fold over, crimping with a fork. Cook in oil which has been heated on medium heat, until browned on both sides, turning as needed. Remove to paper towel lined plate.
