Fried Apple Pies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (8 oz.) pkg. dried apples
2 Tbsp. melted butter or margarine
1/2 to 1 c. sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
Buttermilk Pastry
salad oil

Preparation

Soak apples overnight. Drain well. Cover apples with water and cook about 1 hour until soft.
Drain. Add remaining ingredients. Mash and combine. Roll out pastry on waxed paper, 1/3 at a time. Cut out pastry in circles, using a 5-inch saucer as a measure. Place about 3 tablespoons of apple mixture on each pastry circle. To seal pies, dip fingers in cold water and moisten edges of circle. Fold in half, making sure edges are even.
Using a floured fork, press edges of pastry firmly together.
Cook pies until brown in 1-inch heated oil. Turn only once. Drain on paper towel. Eat!
