Baked (Or Fried) Apple Pies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. dried apples or peaches
3 c. water (add more if needed)
2 c. sugar (add more if needed)
corn oil
2 c. self-rising flour
1/2 c. Crisco
3/4 c. milk

Preparation

Cook apples until done or tender.
Mash with a potato masher, add sugar and mix well.
Continue to cook until no longer soupy, stirring often.
Make a nice rich pastry by mixing flour, Crisco and milk.
Roll out dough into balls half the size of a biscuit. On a floured piece of wax paper, roll each ball into a thin circle.
Dip a teaspoon into water and moisten edges of circle to make them stick together.
Place a heaping tablespoon of fruit on one half of the circle of dough.
Fold the other half of circle over the fruit and seal with a fork dipped in flour.
Place the pie on a well-greased bread pan.
Cook in a 400\u00b0 oven until brown on bottom.
Brush a teaspoon of corn oil on each pie and turn over and brown on the other side.
When done, brush the tops with melted margarine or corn oil.
