Number Of Ingredients 13

Glaze:
4 1/2 cups velvet cake flour
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cups Crisco shortening
1 cup water
Pie filling (cherry, peach or apple)
Shortening for deep fat frying
4 pounds powdered sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 1/2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups water

Steps:

Fry Pies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake flour, salt, sugar. Cut in shortening until pieces are the size of small peas. Add water a little at a time, until the flour mixture is moistened. Form into 2 balls. Divide each ball into 10 pieces and roll each piece into a circle. Or if you have a large dough press, roll out dough and cut out circles with press. Spoon pie filling onto one half. Brush half of edge with water; fold over and press to seal with dough press. Heat shortening; fry a few pies at a time in deep fat until golden brown. Cool on wire racks. Glaze: In a large bowl, combine glaze ingredients until smooth. While pies are still warm, dip them into glaze. Allow pies to drip excess glaze on wire racks until cool.
