My grandma used to do something like this with apples, peaches & apricots depending on the season. I used to love being in the kitchen with her no matter what she was cooking. I now wish I had some of her recipes. She used to make homemade sugar cookies slice fresh peaches and made what she called peach sandwiches. The longer they sat the better they were as the peach juice soaked into the cookies.
Omgg Phyllis...you are the ONLY person ive seen make these the exact way my maw maw made them. Ive not had these in over 30 years coz no one in my family knew how to make her fried apple pies. This video actually brought me to tears remembering my maw maw making these. Im going to do these myself and just hope i dont cry into my batter coz i miss that lady everyday. But thank you ever sooooo much for this video and bringing me so many wonderful memories. Bless you and your family.
My mother in law taught me a similar recipe many many years ago. She called hers dumplings. She rolled out the prepared canned biscuit dough out into rounds and placed in a small cereal bowl, allowing excess to drape over side of bowl. Add fruit of choice, sugar, cinnamon, butter, etc. Pull sides of dough up and pinch together forming a small biscuit. Turn upside down in a baking dish and bake at 350°F for about 25- 30 minutes. I haven't made them in years. My oldest son picked wild black raspberries this summer, which I have in the freezer. Now I think I'll have to use some of them. You've made me hungry.
Oh my! I had forgotten all about these. My Mom used to make them all the time. She called them fried pies and they were a bit smaller than these. She would roll out her dough and turn a saucer upside down on the dough to use as a guide to cut out circles and then put her apples (or sometimes other fruit) on them and seal them with a fork and fry them. So good. My Dad worked shift work and she always had something baked for his lunchkit. These were always a favorite.
Here in AR we call those apple fried pies...my favorite is peach, though. They are really nice with a glob of vanilla ice cream on top while they are hot. Yum!
The little background history about your grandmother and the children helping, conjures up a lovely picture of family cooking and eating this delicious fruit of their labours. I will try this recipe at some point with my grandchildren and hope for the same results. Thank you
Those look delicious. Made me think of my friend's grandmother. Ms. Franklin was staying with my friend for the summer. We helped her pick apples one afternoon and she made the best fried pies. That's what she called them, and anytime I see anything that resembles them, I think of them as fried pies. I believe her dough might've been a little different, but they were oh so good. Thank you for sharing and bringing back that memory.
Hi Phyllis I want you to know how very much I appreciate your videos! There's nothing that can put me in a good mood than watching your videos! I love seeing you Mr. Bucky and the dogs! It's so fun to watch all your adventures and all the good advice you have. I lost my parents fairly young and miss watching my mother cook and bake. She was very talented. She sewed anything you can imagine. She crocheted and made all kinds of crafts. It's so nice to see that in you. You are a very talented, intelligent person. Both you and Mr. Bucky had had an amazing career and life. I just love hearing about it. Your children must be so proud to have you and Mr. Bucky for parents. I missed out over 20 years of my parents. I always tell everyone how lucky they are to still have parents. Unforunately. Life was much harder for me without them. Thanks for posting your house renovations and I hope you are all happy living in your new house. PS do you have a good cheesecake recipe? Would love to see it. Thanks to both of you Lia
Here's my video on a large cheesecake ruclips.net/video/CCUBI212nsg/видео.html Here's my video on a smaller one ruclips.net/video/cf75Gv2w12E/видео.html
Just like my grandma use to make too. I love them! I loved her apple dumplings too, wish I would have paid more attention when I was with her in the kitchen but what she did teach me was the joy of cooking and precious time with her I will cherish!! She called her fritters "apple jacks". Thanks for the video.
Delicious fixings from one of the South's great authentic cooks. Phyllis Stokes and my mother shared such similar cooking styles. We're from the TN/VA border here in the south...the official birthplace of country music.
My grandmother still makes these. She uses a little cinnamon, nutmeg and puts a little vanilla in the dough. And we call these fried apple pies. When they've cooled, she spreads each with icing made from confectionary sugar, butter, milk and a little vanilla. They are delicious. She has also made peach pies & cherry pies in the same fashion. She tried chocolate once, but they didn't turn out.
The memories you brought back to me. Thank you! My grandmamaw made apple fritters(that what she called them also) for me and grandpapa for brkfast., mmm delish.
I’ve have had, and love fried apple pies, they were small compared to these, one is enough for a meal! I wish my grandma was like Phyllis grandma, my grandma raised me, but didn’t teach me how to cook, cookbooks have too many ingredients just for a meal, so I watch and learn from Phyllis, I love her meals, simple, with few ingredients and very tasty!
Oh, Phyllis, you are bringing back some big time childhood memories for me! Both my grandmothers in eastern NC made these, but we called them apple jacks. Also loved peach jacks and sweet potato jacks!!! Good ol'country cookin'!!!! : )
+Jean Moore Boykin I am so glad you made this comment. I told my sister I thought Grandma called these Apple Jacks and she keep saying no that was a cereal. I think my first thoughts on this were right, I mean I know there was a cereal name Apple Jacks but I still think Grandma called the apple fritters Apple Jacks. I'm calling my sister tomorrow and try to jog her memory again. I have never tried making the Sweet Potato Jacks but always wanted to see if I could do it.
+Phyllis Stokes How about Chocolate Gravy....did anybody in your NC family make Chocolate Gravy served with hot homemade biscuits for breakfast? My grandmother in Kinston made it whenever I spent the night with her.
I love how you cook. My grandma cooked like this. Measurements and such were all by hand, look, and feel. I miss her greatly and would give anything to be in her kitchen again. Thank you for sharing your videos!
My grandma called hers apple tarts......and she fried them in bacon grease.....the saltiness of the bacon grease and the sweetness of the apples was awesome.....I loved them so much.
You will never believe I been trying to find this recipe all my lifetime, those are the kind my mom would make and I tried everyone else and none was right and these are the ones I remember, thank you so much for the recipe. Peace sweetie may the Lord make more angels like you are, thanks so very very much.
I have been eager to make these since you posted your video..... Just made them this evening. I cut the recipe in half, and made two of them, but far too big for us to have one each. Shared one with my other half and still have one to share for tomorrow. Lovely with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Thanks for sharing.
I wish you would write a recipe book, I would buy a dozen of them and hand them out as presents. I love Love LOVE your cooking! Thank you Phyllis for all your videos! I adore you and Mr. Bucky! Happy New Year Dear Friends♥
Ms. Phyllis, I grew up eating a version of these. My mother made them with dried apples that she reconstituted with water and various delicious spices. She’d peel and slice apples all summer and lay them out on a wire mesh of some kind to dry in the sun.. Her’s were smaller and fried with pie dough. She called them fried apple pies and sometimes half moon pies. She’s gone now, but I make them now...not quite as good as her’s but delicious nonetheless...
hey this brought back memories. My grandma did the same as treats for us kids when she would make biscuits. I do also now but I cheat a bit and use apple butter from a jar. And they are so good.
Oh Wow! Ms. Phyllis, I'm subscribing after seeing this video! My grandmother used to make these all the time! Wow... you brought back so many fond memories of warm fritters with a cup of milk. That was the best! Thank you!
Once more, memories of my granny. My cousins and I would wait for her to place them on a plate and she never got ahead of us! Hers were smaller and thinner, she could cook 3 in a pan. btw-Her rolling pin was an old fashioned whiskey bottle. Love your videos but you make me miss my granny. She really was a saint.
This takes me back to my own grandmother in S.C & in G.A we always heard these called "horse" apples. They were small, speckled yellow & tart. They were made the same way & what we called fried. These apples were also dried & made the best tasting pies to me. Pretty sure they were fried in lard but later I know they were made in vegetable shortening. I really wish I had one in my hand. we would gladly eat them cold.
A pint is a pound the world around. A pound is 16 oz.Two pints are one quart or 36 oz. One pint is 2 cups. I love the way you pat the dough. Everything I make turn into hockey pucks.
My aunt and uncle in West Virginia had an apple orchard on their farm. Their apples were fall pippins and they were yellow too. They were cooking apples, but we kids would eat them raw. Definitely a good flavor for pies and such.
I enjoyed the story of your Grandma and this recipe. Thank you. I'll make this for sure this Fall when my Sister drops off the 2nd's from her Mother-in-law land that has Fuji apple trees. I might just have to settle and buy some store bought ones and makes these. Comfort food indeed! Bless!
I made these and they were very delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Would you pray that the Lord provide me with a Vitamix . Watching you guys is encouraging. My life is hard and sad.
My hubby's aunt was from Virginia and she called them 'apple pies'. As far as the apples go, there is the golden delicious a yellowish-green apple, there is Granny Smith which is green and tart, then there is another greenish-yellow apple called Rambo. I see them at the orchard every year. Actually they are called 'Summer Rambo'.
Mama used to make fried fruit pies all the time. I suppose she started out making them like you do but I only remember her making them from canned biscuits (the cheaper little ones). She often would use canned pie filling - apple, cherry, etc. or applesauce or even crushed pineapple. It didn't matter - because they were always good and there were never leftovers!!
I seen there was a Happy Birthday comment...If it's today or when, I say Happy Birthday... My maternal grandmother ficed fried pies...She'd dry fruit...spread the apples out on cloth made from feedsacks and two sown together and Thoroughly laundered clean/ Line air dryed & then placed the fruits out to dry on... The pies were so good....that's been over 59 years ago, I estimate...thanks for your Recipes...
I should have edited before sending, but I appreciate your responding... I don't remember where she stored the dried apples. "Ma" as we called her sure knew food preservation...I guess they were kept in the canhouse. I just remember the drying process and how good they were in apple fritters or a pot of Cooked Fruit for breakfast with hot biscuits.
My Mom use to make those but she called them apple turn overs for the pastry she would cheat and roll out biscuit dough and fix the apples with cinnamon sugar and allspice and fill each pastry with apple filling deep frying them till golden brown they were so good. I guess there are different various versions of the apple fritters/turn overs.
I just Love the two of you....your voice is like a peaceful lullaby and not only that you also tickle my funny bone,..from one grandma (me) to another.....Hope all is well. I think I need to go and make these right now for myself and my husband.....I have had him for nearly 50 years. We are thinking we will just keep each other....And P.S. I am hoping Peppy is back to himself. Will they get to go with you both in the motorhome?
We make a batter and then mix in dized apples. Then spoon the batter into oil and cook until golden brown. This is more of a turnover than a fritter but still looks very tasty!
Hi! These look amazing, but they remind me of mini apple pies! When you were talking about your grandparents and their farm I almost cried! I too was raised on my grandoarents farm, my grandpa gave me 10 ten apple trees out the apple orchard, plus we hsd this huge one in front if the farmhouse and ut had those yellow apples! I remember the smrl of the apples under the sun just as you described, oh my! so many memories! I remember one time I found this enormous apple, a giant apple I called it, granma made 1 big pie with it! Another time I went fishing down at the creek on the farm with granpa and when it came time to clean and cook/eat the fish I didn't want to eat them, so granpa said this is it or nothing, so I went and picked a nice big juicy apple off the tree and I made an apple sandwich! my granparents couldn't stop laughing, and from then on it was the joke to all the kids-if you won't eat what was prepared, - eat an apple sandwich! Thanks for the memories!
Oh my Phyllis I was just watching this video and it reminds me so much of my Mother, she made an apple pie like this and also a rhubarb pie like this. I never knew her ingredients it but I am sure it was exactly like this because hers looked exactly like this, not sure if you read all your comments but Mommy also made a "pie" which I never knew what a real pie and pie crust was till we moved to Ohio and I experienced more other peoples cooking. Her "pie" was like maybe a person would call a cobbler now, but it was with just big flat biscuits, I am thinking maybe like the ones you started with to make these pies before rolling them as thin, she would always take the back of her hand and mash them down I do remember that seeing her prints in the dough, not sure if she added sugar to the dough but I remember it tasting so good when they came out of the oven. I begged for some before she would put them in a big ceramic bowl and stack them one at a time and then pour over her "pie" filling it would be maybe berry, or rhubarb or maybe apple I remember it being really juicy and the flat biscuits soaking it up. We would eat it warm and if any was left over we also ate it cold. I am seriously thinking this is how she done it I might give it a try with some rhubarb Wow all the memories you give us watching your videos are so addicting
A cousin from Tennessee makes her apple fritters for our reunions. She called them "Fried Pies." We never got one because we travelled south. The Southerners of our family were very selfish. They would eat 3 or more or hide them in their hotel rooms before we arrived. Nice proclaimed Holy Christian family, I know....lololol. I've never actually ate one. Yours look incredible!!
Wow, I'm sorry to hear that, it's so sad to treat family like that, especially if you haven't seen them for a long time! Why have a reunion if you're going to act that way?
those looked delicious.....i was wondering if you have heard of liver mush...my great g'parents were from North Carolina and moved on down into georgia and Alabama...if you do know what it is and could a video cooking it, that would be wonderful...my family would be so thrilled....
+Katherine Sims I've heard of liver mush but have never tried it myself. It sounds a lot like Neese's Liver Pudding that can be purchased at BI-LO in some areas of the South. I think the liver mush you mentioned is probably made using cornmeal. In our area they call it liver pudding and it's made using rice instead of cornmeal. I've never made it myself because Mr. Bucky does not like anything with the word "liver" in it.
Love your recipes Could you share more on canning apples with no sugar? My Grandmother always canned fall fruit and vegetables when we were at school. Love to hear from our peers.
Phyllis, I make these Fritters as I am from South Carolina. We also use cooked and seeded prunes--and they are delicious.. try them sometime. Love your videos..
My mother called them fried apple pies too and I've made them before just like that except I stewed my apples with sugar and cinnamon and hardly any water so they wouldn't be so liquidy
Those look wonderful Phyllis. I can't say I have ever seen apple fritters like those before, I'm sure they taste amazing. Can you use butter instead of crisco in the pastry dough?
Miss you Phyllis. It’s like you’re still here. I guess you will live forever through your videos and in our memories. 🥰😍
Have you any idea how precious it is to hear your lovely voice. Thank God for its resounding comfort and joy.
Omg how I miss her beautiful and articulate VOICE😥
OMG I miss this woman, helps me to hear her voice...please never take her you tube site down.
Awwwh I miss her voice. God bless her.
My grandma used to do something like this with apples, peaches & apricots depending on the season. I used to love being in the kitchen with her no matter what she was cooking. I now wish I had some of her recipes. She used to make homemade sugar cookies slice fresh peaches and made what she called peach sandwiches. The longer they sat the better they were as the peach juice soaked into the cookies.
I just love grandmas

Omgg Phyllis...you are the ONLY person ive seen make these the exact way my maw maw made them. Ive not had these in over 30 years coz no one in my family knew how to make her fried apple pies. This video actually brought me to tears remembering my maw maw making these. Im going to do these myself and just hope i dont cry into my batter coz i miss that lady everyday. But thank you ever sooooo much for this video and bringing me so many wonderful memories. Bless you and your family.
Im with you Kawaii my momma made these. She called them fried apple pies. I can see her now making them. I also cried. Thanks Miss Phyllis
Thanks Phyllis. I miss you. RIP. I know you are still with us. I will always continue to cook with your direction.
I love the old time recipes because they were so simple. Thank you :)
Miss You but still enjoy your videos. You were precious
My mother in law taught me a similar recipe many many years ago. She called hers dumplings. She rolled out the prepared canned biscuit dough out into rounds and placed in a small cereal bowl, allowing excess to drape over side of bowl. Add fruit of choice, sugar, cinnamon, butter, etc. Pull sides of dough up and pinch together forming a small biscuit. Turn upside down in a baking dish and bake at 350°F for about 25- 30 minutes. I haven't made them in years. My oldest son picked wild black raspberries this summer, which I have in the freezer. Now I think I'll have to use some of them. You've made me hungry.
I really like this idea to use the canned biscuits as the dumpling. Great idea your mother-in-law taught you.
God! I just love watching you!!! You remind me so much of my own Mom! Makes me lonesome!
I made these and my husband and I loved them. Thanks for recipe and demo you are wonderful
We miss you and hope your well
I can taste these, yum. I will make them for sure. Thank you for sharing these little treasures Phyllis, what precious memories they must bestow.
Oh my! I had forgotten all about these. My Mom used to make them all the time. She called them fried pies and they were a bit smaller than these. She would roll out her dough and turn a saucer upside down on the dough to use as a guide to cut out circles and then put her apples (or sometimes other fruit) on them and seal them with a fork and fry them. So good. My Dad worked shift work and she always had something baked for his lunchkit. These were always a favorite.
Here in AR we call those apple fried pies...my favorite is peach, though. They are really nice with a glob of vanilla ice cream on top while they are hot. Yum!
The little background history about your grandmother and the children helping, conjures up a lovely picture of family cooking and eating this delicious fruit of their labours. I will try this recipe at some point with my grandchildren and hope for the same results.

Enjoy watching Phyllis cooking Videos. Her talking thru the steps and family stories are nice. One of the best cooking videos youtube has.
Just like my grandma use to make too. I love them! I loved her apple dumplings too, wish I would have paid more attention when I was with her in the kitchen but what she did teach me was the joy of cooking and precious time with her I will cherish!! She called her fritters "apple jacks". Thanks for the video.
Delicious fixings from one of the South's great authentic cooks. Phyllis Stokes and my mother shared such similar cooking styles. We're from the TN/VA border here in the south...the official birthplace of country music.
You reminded me of my early childhood and going to my Granny's house on Sunday after church for lunch! What a yummy treat!
My grandmother still makes these. She uses a little cinnamon, nutmeg and puts a little vanilla in the dough. And we call these fried apple pies. When they've cooled, she spreads each with icing made from confectionary sugar, butter, milk and a little vanilla. They are delicious. She has also made peach pies & cherry pies in the same fashion.

Miss Phyllis I just love your channel. You certainly bring a smile to my face. I look forward to watching you and Mr. Bucky. Love your joy!
I love this recipe and cannot wait to make it. My mother has the same orange Tupperware!
My grandma called hers apple tarts......and she fried them in bacon grease.....the saltiness of the bacon grease and the sweetness of the apples was awesome.....I loved them so much.
Never thought to use bacon grease, might have to give this a try. I can imagine it taste really good. Almost anything fried in bacon grease is good.
You will never believe I been trying to find this recipe all my lifetime, those are the kind my mom would make and I tried everyone else and none was right and these are the ones I remember, thank you so much for the recipe.

My mother dried apples every year and made"fried apple pies". They were very similar to your fritters. Thank you for sharing.
ALL of Phyllis' recipes are easy, well explained and DELiCIOUS ! ! !
I just made these this morning and they're so tasty! Really simple and easy recipe. My family loved them. Thanks.

I absolutely love you. So real and love your step-by-step detailed instructions. Thank you
Oh Ms. Phyllis I can smell these frying! Sure going to make a batch - you made it look so easy! Thank you!
Oh yum, I must try this recipe, thank you for sharing this. I keep a glass jar filled with sugar and cinnamon, perfect for such a recipe as this.
Had not thought of these for years! Thank you for making these! 😊
I want to try these, they look so good!
they look really good cant wait to try out the recipe.
My grandparents had apple trees, too. I sure do remember all those bees and yellow jackets!
Ms. Phyllis, I grew up eating a version of these. My mother made them with dried apples that she reconstituted with water and various delicious spices.

I adore cooked apple in any form. Thank you for this recipe I am going to make them. We don't get that shortening in south Africa.i will use butter,
hey this brought back memories. My grandma did the same as treats for us kids when she would make biscuits. I do also now but I cheat a bit and use apple butter from a jar. And they are so good.
Rest in Heavenly Peace, my dear. Miss you.
My Grandmama called your Apple Fritters "Fried Pies" . My mouth was watering while watching. Aah the good ole days w/Grandparents.
Oh Wow! Ms. Phyllis, I'm subscribing after seeing this video! My grandmother used to make these all the time! Wow... you brought back so many fond memories of warm fritters with a cup of milk. That was the best! Thank you!
looks so good
Once more, memories of my granny.
My cousins and I would wait for her to place them on a plate and she never got ahead of us!
Hers were smaller and thinner, she could cook 3 in a pan.
btw-Her rolling pin was an old fashioned whiskey bottle.
Love your videos but you make me miss my granny.
She really was a saint.
These look so good. I'm going to have to make these with our apples!
Phyllis your awesome! I love your stories. I will try this one for sure !!!!

of Cooked Fruit for breakfast with hot biscuits.
sure missing you guys! hope to hear from y'all soon on here!
My Mom use to make those but she called them apple turn overs for the pastry she would cheat and roll out biscuit dough and fix the apples with cinnamon sugar and allspice and fill each pastry with apple filling deep frying them till golden brown they were so good. I guess there are different various versions of the apple fritters/turn overs.
those look awesome, I might try these myself :)
I just Love the two of you....your voice is like a peaceful lullaby and not only that you also tickle my funny bone,..from one grandma (me) to another.....Hope all is well. I think I need to go and make these right now for myself and my husband.....I have had him for nearly 50 years. We are thinking we will just keep each other....And P.S. I am hoping Peppy is back to himself. Will they get to go with you both in the motorhome?

Looks good. For breakfast with maple syrup. Making me hungry. 💙🐕🐾🐾
Hi! These look amazing, but they remind me of mini apple pies! When you were talking about your grandparents and their farm I almost cried! I too was raised on my grandoarents farm, my grandpa gave me 10 ten apple trees out the apple orchard, plus we hsd this huge one in front if the farmhouse and ut had those yellow apples! I remember the smrl of the apples under the sun just as you described, oh my! so many memories! I remember one time I found this enormous apple, a giant apple I called it, granma made 1 big pie with it! Another time I went fishing down at the creek on the farm with granpa and when it came time to clean and cook/eat the fish I didn't want to eat them, so granpa said this is it or nothing, so I went and picked a nice big juicy apple off the tree and I made an apple sandwich! my granparents couldn't stop laughing, and from then on it was the joke to all the kids-if you won't eat what was prepared, - eat an apple sandwich! Thanks for the memories!
Yummy momma sprinkled sugar and cinnamon on top when she finished frying them. Just a little extra sweetness
Thank you for the recipe
YUM YUM PHYILIS YOURE A GREAT COOK MY MOM WAS A CANNER SHE CANNED EVERYTHING
Oh my Phyllis I was just watching this video and it reminds me so much of my Mother, she made an apple pie like this and also a rhubarb pie like this. I never knew her ingredients it but I am sure it was exactly like this because hers looked exactly like this, not sure if you read all your comments but Mommy also made a "pie" which I never knew what a real pie and pie crust was till we moved to Ohio and I experienced more other peoples cooking. Her "pie" was like maybe a person would call a cobbler now, but it was with just big flat biscuits, I am thinking maybe like the ones you started with to make these pies before rolling them as thin, she would always take the back of her hand and mash them down I do remember that seeing her prints in the dough, not sure if she added sugar to the dough but I remember it tasting so good when they came out of the oven. I begged for some before she would put them in a big ceramic bowl and stack them one at a time and then pour over her "pie" filling it would be maybe berry, or rhubarb or maybe apple I remember it being really juicy and the flat biscuits soaking it up. We would eat it warm and if any was left over we also ate it cold. I am seriously thinking this is how she done it I might give it a try with some rhubarb
Wow all the memories you give us watching your videos are so addicting
I love your videos,
Scoop of ice cream, maybe? Looks yummy!!
A cousin from Tennessee makes her apple fritters for our reunions. She called them "Fried Pies." We never got one because we travelled south. The Southerners of our family were very selfish. They would eat 3 or more or hide them in their hotel rooms before we arrived. Nice proclaimed Holy Christian family, I know....lololol. I've never actually ate one. Yours look incredible!!
Wow, I'm sorry to hear that, it's so sad to treat family like that, especially if you haven't seen them for a long time! Why have a reunion if you're going to act that way?
Thanks for sharing, Ms. Phyllis. :)
I am thinking Sturmer apples, so yummy with salt.
Lovely Ms. Phyllis, but I think you stretched it a bit trying to use all those apples. Love you!
those looked delicious.....i was wondering if you have heard of liver mush...my great g'parents were from North Carolina and moved on down into georgia and Alabama...if you do know what it is and could a video cooking it, that would be wonderful...my family would be so thrilled....
+Katherine Sims I've heard of liver mush but have never tried it myself. It sounds a lot like Neese's Liver Pudding that can be purchased at BI-LO in some areas of the South. I think the liver mush you mentioned is probably made using cornmeal. In our area they call it liver pudding and it's made using rice instead of cornmeal. I've never made it myself because Mr. Bucky does not like anything with the word "liver" in it.
Would it work out ok if you baked them?
Love your recipes Could you share more on canning apples with no sugar? My Grandmother always canned fall fruit and vegetables when we were at school. Love to hear from our peers.
Phyllis, I make these Fritters as I am from South Carolina. We also use cooked and seeded prunes--and they are delicious.. try them sometime. Love your videos..
My mother called them fried apple pies too and I've made them before just like that except I stewed my apples with sugar and cinnamon and hardly any water so they wouldn't be so liquidy
Have a happy birthday (Jan 8)!
+jan langford I remember her saying in one of her videos that she and Elvis shared a birthday. Thanks for reminding me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHYLLIS!!!!!!!!
+Philippi Church I am anxious to hear from the Stokes. I wonder if they are at the beach.
+jan langford I also would love to hear from them via RUclips. I have no idea of where they are though.
My mother made fried pies. She used dried apples and dried peaches. I've tried to make them but they never taste like I remember.
They sure look yummy!
With a little ice cream or whip cream I want this tonight
Those look wonderful Phyllis. I can't say I have ever seen apple fritters like those before, I'm sure they taste amazing. Can you use butter instead of crisco in the pastry dough?
+FitAnge S Hi Ange, Absolutely you can use butter, that would make the fritters taste even better.
Does apple pies turnovers or crisps both are good with ice 🍦.
