    Just Peachy: EASY Fried Pies

    Published: Sep 11, 2014 · Updated: Sep 11, 2014 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    We can't go more than a few months without talking about "fried pies" on Amish365.com   These snack staples are just too irresistible to leave alone and are super popular in Amish kitchens.  I've seen many different versions.photo.10  This was was a fry pie I picked up at Der Dutchman in Plain City, Ohio.  On a fried pie scale of 1 - 10, I'd give it about a 7.  It was good, but definitely not the best I've had.  The best involve a dripping glaze, thick real fruit crimped inside a crispy sleeve of crust.  YUM. This is a picture of my fried pie.  These pies are very popular in Amish kitchens, but they almost seem more popular sold in Amish bakeries than just the average Amish homemaker making them for her kids. I'm not saying they don't, but they definitely seem to be more prevalent in bakeries.  This recipes came to me from a Mennonite woman and it's an easier twist on the sometimes laborious fry pie.  You can use a tube of store-bought biscuits for the "crust" and dried fruit for the filling.  So if you're really busy but still want an Amish-style fried pie, this is the route I'd go!
