fried pies
Hot oil pastries
Fried pies are small pastries filled with fruit, meat, or other fillings, then deep-fried or pan-fried rather than baked.
The term is most common in Southern American cooking, where apple and peach fillings predominate: Grandma's fried pies were legendary at church suppers.
Fast-food chains serve mass-produced versions, but the homemade kind remains a regional specialty.
