Ok Karen get ready to put on some weight,I slice a large kettle with, winesap, mckintosh or early harvest apples , put VERY little water, put lid on let steam until done, I then put thru a blender, Now get a LARGE kettle , I use a very old 8qt pressure cooker bottom , they dont stick, measure 8 cups of sauce, 8 cups of sugar and 3 tsps of cinnamon, place on burner stir until it comes to a boil, turn heat down to low cook 6 to 6and one half hours, stir ocassionally. this will be brown and very thick when you put it in your jars. Now this is an absolute rule at my house, do not put a fork in my jams or jellies always use a spoon--- Now for fried pies, you canuse your own dough but I find canned biscuits dont soak up as much oil, I use the texas size biscuits, roll out thin, If you will let these warm out of the can a few mins they are easier to roll, for those that use dried apples I cook and sweeten apples to taste and add cinnamon, cook apples down until they are thick -- also easier to use if cold, spread on one half of biscuit circle, fold over and press sides with a fork ,punch a couple of fork punches thru to to let steam escape, I have a largr electric skillet put about one fourth in of oil heat skillet to 250 ---300, do not fry to fast, when brown on both sides I turn the pie on its back side against the side of skillet. my skillet will cook about 10 but use what ever size you have. You can use the apple butter just like the dried apples, WHEN YOU COOK A BIG PLATTER OF THESE THEY WONT LAST VERY LONG. aS FOR THE APPLE BUTTER JUST ASK nANCY jO WHETHER ITS GOOD OR NOT, nOW i AM GOING TO DO ANOTHER ONE FOR PEANUTBUTTER FUDGE

| I was the lucky recipient of a jar of Miss Wilma's apple butter and it's wonderful. Better than what I made this year from my measly few pounds of apples from the little tree...what the birds didn't eat. |

OMG. fried pies!!! That is such a cooincidence. I canned a two bushels of apple pie filling, and didnt have enough left for a final jar full, so I set it aside and really wanted to make a pie, but then didnt have any butter for a crust, so I had biscuits! I peeled the biscuits in half and put a spoonful of the pie filling inside, reapplied the top half and pinched around the edges. one can of biscuits fills a shallow round cake tin. The biscuits were honey butter, and turned out amazing! But I like the idea of frying them better! Us southern girls cant resist it if its fried ;)
