My Mammaw who passed several years ago used to make these fried prune pies also. The best you ever had. No one remaining in the family has any of her recipes. I’m going to try this and see how they compare. I’ve been craving some of her prune pies, collard greens, and cornbread for years now.

Thank You.

I’ve tried many times to make fried pies and always failed. By following your pictorial I made these this past weekend and they turned out perfect. Thank you so much for sharing these older recipes that has been lost to many.

I too had a fried pie making Grandma; with fresh or dried fruit, with homemade pastry dough or canned bicuits; depending on what we had on hand or how much time and energy she had.
Four generations now remember her pies; mostly apple here in Virginia.
Sadly we lost her before any of learned her magic; she had no written recipes so you had to get in the kitchen with her to learn how to fry chicken, or make her bread & butter pickles, or any of the wonderful, simple fantastic food she fed us. OYSTER DRESSING. She handed down the ingredients and method to my cousin after the breast cancer had come back. My cousin Ellie makes her dressing every Thanksgiving and we share memories of Grandma.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane as well as the recipe. I’m gonna get off here and make them now.

My Mamaw Tiny made the BEST fried pies! She lost her battle with cancer in March and no-one in the family had her receipe. My Papaw JC brought me some peaches he had dried last week and asked if I could try to make some fried pies. I am going to try your receipe for a family get together this weekend! Thanks!
