Notes

In mastering the art of creating Fried Apple or Peach Pies, attention to detail is key. Begin by selecting the freshest ingredients, ensuring both the fruit filling and biscuit dough are of the highest quality. Precision in rolling out the dough to uniform thickness guarantees consistency in each delectable bite. Properly sealing the edges of the pies with a touch of water ensures the luscious filling stays intact during frying. Maintaining the oil temperature at a steady 370°F ensures a perfect golden-brown crust while preventing the pies from becoming greasy. Once fried to crispy perfection, allow the pies to drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil before serving. These small but crucial steps elevate the humble fried pie into a culinary delight that will have everyone coming back for more.
