Fried Apple Pies

On our last trip to Blue Ridge, GA, we stopped in at Mercier's Orchard.   I couldn't resist getting something from the bakery, it smelled so good!   Not knowing what I would do with them, I also got some dried apples.  But in full disclosure, I think I had fried apple pies in the back of my mind.  I love 'em!

I can't say that working with dough is one of the more enjoyable things in life for me, so this Easy Fried Pies recipe caught my attention.

The dough is simplified by using canned biscuits (I know, don't hate!). 

I chose the flaky kind.

The recipe called for Allspice which I didn't have.  And since I was still in my Saturday comfy clothes with only my first cup of coffee, going to the store was not an option!  

So with my cup of coffee in hand, I did a quick google search where I found an Allspice substitute.   Who knew!?

The 2 tablespoons of apple mixture squishes out the sides!  I just hope it doesn't open up while it's frying.

Fry 'em in a cast iron skillet.

Go ahead and let them get a little more than golden brown so the top layer will be flaky.



Pour another cup of coffee and eat two....or more.

Since fresh apples are now coming in by the bushels and truckloads, I'm looking forward to seeing more Apple Pies here:
