Recipe - Ranch Apple Fried Pies

1 pound Dried apples
1 pound Butter
1 pound Sugar
One half cup Orange, cut or sliced up thin
One fourth Lemon, cut or sliced up thin
Tough pastry, rolled out

Last month, Regelin came across a stash of cookbooks a client was giving
away, and as usual, picked out a few for my collection. Any profit Regelin
makes from her discoveries goes to the animal shelter, so for a small
donation, I acquired several volumes, including the "LBJ Barbecue Cook
Book," written by Walter Jetton, then caterer to the LBJ Ranch.

President Johnson likes these and so does just about everybody. It is the
alltime favorite of all the desserts I have ever fixed.

Cover apples, orange and lemon with water and cook over the fire for about
15 minutes until they are tender. Remove from the heat and add the butter
and sugar, mixing well. Let the ranch apple mixture chill. Now roll out
your pastry and cut it in 4inch circles. Add 2 tablespoons of the apple
mixture to each circle and fold it over. Press the edges together and fry
in deep fat until brown.
