Fried Pies

2 c Flour
1 ts Salt
1/2 c Shortening
1/3 c Water, cold
1 x Fruit, stewed

Sift the flour and salt together, cut in the shortening and mix with hands. Add water. Roll out about 1/8 inch thick on a floured board. Cut with a large cookie cutter about 4 inches in diameter. In each round, place 1 1/2 Tbsp sweetened mashed fruit (dried apricots, peaches, prunes or thick apple sauce). Moisten edges with cold water, fold to make semi-circle and press edges together with a fork. Fry in deep fat.
