Eliza's Fried Apple Pies

In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients as for biscuits.

Turn out on a floured surface, mixing in additional flour to rolling consistency.

Pinch off enough dough about walnut size; roll dough very thin.

Spread half the surface with 2 tablespoons dried apple filling; fold over and seal edges by pressing with fork.

Fry in small amount of solid shortening until golden brown on both sides.
