Fried pies are small fried dessert pastries, which have fruit fillings wrapped in the dough. Fried pies come from a long tradition of female home cooks in rural Arkansas, who turned the dessert into a staple dish because of its convenience, affordability, and ease. Because they were portable, fried pies could be tucked into a lunch pail and carried by workers to the fields or factory.
Red apples are high in dietary fiber and contain vitamin C. They offer a small amount of vitamin A and sodium and traces of calcium and iron. Red apples are higher in antioxidants than many other apple varieties, most of which are contained in the skin.
Everyone knows that apple pie is often associated with being American, but this delicious dessert is actually European. The very first recipe for apple pie came from England hundreds of years ago. In addition, the vast majority of apple varieties are not even native to North America.
