For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of shortening in the crust. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for extra warmth. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet when frying the pies to maintain the oil temperature. Dust the finished pies with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.

01 Step
Recipe View To Make Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually mix in milk, stirring until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes. (30 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View To Make Filling: In a large saucepan, combine apricots, peaches, and sugar. Add enough water to cover the fruit. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the fruit is very tender and falling apart, about 20-25 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the water has evaporated and the filling has thickened. Let cool slightly. (45 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 18 6-inch circles using a cookie cutter or a sharp knife. (15 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Place oil in a small, high-sided skillet or pot. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). (10 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Spoon an equal amount of filling into the center of each pastry circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape. Seal the edges tightly with a fork dipped in cold water. (20 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Fry a few pies at a time in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. (25 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Drain the fried pies on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm or at room temperature. (5 minutes)

Dec 15, 2023I had a little trouble with the filling leaking out during frying, but dipping the fork in cold water really helped to seal the edges. They turned out beautifully!
