Cook apples in water over low heat for 15 minutes. (If using dried apples, place in a large kettle with enough water to cover and soak overnight. Drain and cook over a very low heat until very thick.) Combine sugar, flour, and spices. Add to apples and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Roll pastry to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 5-inch saucer, cut out 12 circles. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of apple filling onto each pastry circle. Moisten the edge of pastry circle with water. Fold in half. Use fork dipped in flour to press edges together. In large iron skillet heat 1 inch oil to 375 degrees. Cook pie until golden brown. Makes 12 fried apple pies.
