Servings: 100 Portions
Portions: 1 Pie Each
Temperature: 350 degrees F. Deep Fat
3-1/2 quart (2 lb or 1-No. 10 can) apples, dehydrated
6 quart water, warm
3-1/2 cups (1 lb 8 oz) sugar, granulated
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
3/4 cup (6 oz) butter or margarine
PIE CRUST:
5-1/2 quart (5 lb) flour, wheat, pastry, sifted
1-1/8 cups (5 oz) milk, nonfat, dry
6 3/4 tablespoon (3 oz) baking powder
3 tablespoon salt
3 cups ( 1 lb 4 oz) shortening
5-1/2 cups water
Combine apples and warm water. Bring to a boil and simmer 15 minutes or until tender.
Combine sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir into apple mixture. Bring to a boil.
Remove from heat. Fold butter or margarine into apple mixture. Cool; set aside.
PIE CRUST:
Mix and sift together dry ingredients. Blend shortening into dry ingredients until
mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add water and mix only enough to form a soft dough.
On lightly floured board, roll dough into a rectangular sheet, about 1/8-inch thick. Cut
into 6-inch circles. Wash edges of each circle with water.
Place 1/4 cup (2 oz) filling in the center of each circle. Fold over to form a half
circle; seal edges with a fork. Fry pies, a few at a time, 2 minutes on one side, turn
and fry 2 minutes on other side or until golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper.
If desired, a No.10 can may be used to cut out circles or dough may be weighed in 1 1/2
oz portions and rolled into 6-inch circles, 1/8-inch thick.
