2 lbs. dried apples, sliced
3 c. boiling water
1 c. sugar
Grated rind of 1 lemon
2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. shortening
1/2 c. cold water

Cook apples in boiling water until soft. Add sugar, and lemon rind. Chill. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening with 2 knives. Add cold water gradually. Until flour mixture is moist enough to roll into a ball. Roll thin and cut into 24 dough rounds using a saucer guide. Divide the apple mixture into 12 parts and spoon into the center of 12 rounds. Cover with the other rounds. And press edges together with a fork. Fry in deep fat and drain on brown paper. Makes 12 pies.
