HOW TO MAKE FRIED APPLE PIES USING CANNED BISCUITS
My mother used to make the best fried apple pies you ever ate. We had our own apple trees and mother would dry the fresh apples in the sun and make the pies.
My younger sis, Brenda, made great fried pies, too. This is Brenda’s easy recipe for making mouth watering pies without all the trouble of drying the apples and using canned biscuits for the pie crust. I lost my sister in December 2012 and this recipe always brings back great memories of her Southern cooking.
2 (15 ounce) cans Lucks Fried Apples 1 can Grands biscuits Crisco for frying the pies Flour Powdered sugarOpen apples, drain and pour in bowl. Use a fork cut apples into medium sized pieces. Roll out each individual biscuit on floured board
Fill center of each rolled biscuit with apples. Wet the edges of the dough with water then fold over and crimp with wet fork. Fry in deep skillet in enough oil to float
and turn when brown around edges. Cook until both sides are golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Makes 8 pies.
Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing, as I an from Texas and the Fraaahed Paaahs are great !! My mom who’s passed also fixed them this way. I am making a mess of them today for my younger brothers bday , cherry, strawberry, BlackBerry and a French Vanilla also a meatloaf with potatoes as he wants a supper like my mom fixed.
I always use dried apples, that is how my mother-in-law always made them
My mother used dried apples, too, Betty. They are delicious as well.
Can I have the recipe for the dried apples. I just need what goes into the filling.
Thank you,
Barb Fraley
Does anyone have the recipe for Chocolate Fried Pies? I’ve heard so much about them but have never found an Old recipe. ..thanks
Hi Patricia, I don’t have one on the site but you can use the dough for my Old Timey Fried Apple Pies here: https://thesouthernladycooks.com/2013/03/20/old-timey-fried-apple-pies/ or you can use biscuit dough for easy ones and combine 3 tablespoons cocoa, 3/4 cup sugar and 3/4 stick melted butter together. Use 1 tablespoon of this mixture per pie spread on dough and then deep fry just like you do the fruit pies. You can make more or less of the chocolate mixture. Hope this helps.
This is how my Grandma always made her fried pies. They never lasted long ’cause we ate them all up! Thanks for reminding me. I think I’ll make some for supper tonight at my Dad’s. Ham, butter beans, mashed potatoes and fried apple pies…sounds good, doesn’t it? Thanks, Judy!
My Mother and Grandmother also used dried peaches and apples but I would like to know if you used biscuit dough or do you have a recipe?
This recipe uses canned biscuits. It’s the only one on the site.
Is the same filling recipe good for peach or cherry fried pies also? Should i use fresh or canned peaches, and are canned sour cherries ok for the cherry fried pies?
Thanks for all the great recipes.
I would think so Tim but have not made them any other way but the recipe myself.
My Mom made these for us also.She uses apple pie filling also. She also makes chocolate fried pies,just hersheys cocoa ,sugar,a little butter and roll them up and fry. We are going to have fried yellow squash tonight,love that also. Love southern recipes and the southern lady cooks!!!
Your Mom”s chocolate fried pies sound wonderful. I love anything chocolate and will be trying them for sure! Thank you for your wonderful comment and for being a part of my site. Have a great weekend.
My Mom did fried chocolate pies also…So yummy
These look greaT Judy, but we dont’t have Lucks Fried apples up North here..Any other alternative for the apple filling.?
Hi Patti, I would just make my own filling. Check out my Tasty Fried Apples on here, cook the apples but remove the skins, Then, add the filling to the biscuit dough or use any kind of canned apple filling like pie filling, too, and try that. Hope this helps. Here is the recipe link for the fried apples: https://thesouthernladycooks.com/2010/12/09/tasty-skillet-fried-apples/
Thanks Judy for sharing my recipe. One other tip these are also good coated in Cinnamon and Sugar after you get them out of the pan. My Son loves them that way.
When I went to Texas with my daughter, we were in Dripping Springs, Texas…at a little restaurant. There were these delicious things under a glass cover on a pedestal. We wondered what they were. We asked the waitress and she said with a real Texas drawl…Fraaaahed Paaahs…Whenever my daughter and I are together she askes if I’m going to make some Fraaahed Paahs.
Now that I have the recipe…I’m going to surprise her with your Fraaaahd Paaaahs.

I’m bustin’ a gut at the Fraaahed Paaahs! Bahahaha
