I tend to mix and match to make everyone in the house happy.ġ Apple (I prefer organic Granny Smith and/or Red Delicious Apples)ġ Pack Refrigerated Pre-Made Biscuit/Pie Dough (i.e. I normally make 3-4 cup batches (as shown in the photo's), which nets roughly 25 Small Round Pies (which my daughters love), 50 Small Half Moon Hand Pies, or 12 Traditional Sized Half Moon Pies depending on how you cut the crust. This recipe is written for a 1 cup batch of pie filling, to make it easily adaptable to your desired quantity. For that reason, I've also listed a few substitutions you can make, to save yourself some time. However, preparing those ingredients can be a little time consuming, especially if you are making them 100% from scratch. One of the best things about this recipe, is how few ingredients you actually need to make it. I hope you enjoy this very simple, super tasty receipt! In fact, they have become quite the favorite treat around our house. I've since made them many times over, with nothing but fantastic results. The pies were tasty, flaky, and mouth watering (so says my daughters).
#Original apple jacks how to
I did a fair amount of research, not just on the pies, but also on which apples to use, how to dry them, and how to prepare them for the pie making process.Īfter a few attempts, I got it. When the next craving arose, I decided to have a go at making a batch and I figured why not try to make them 100% from scratch (I'm pretty sure the one she bought used pre-made biscuit dough rather than pie crust). She picked one up for me to check out (knowing how much I love pies) and wow, the apples, the hint of cinnamon, the flaky crust, and yes.the taste of the lard it was cooked in, pulled together to create a spectacular flavor profile, which totally blew my mind. She happened to stop at a small country gas station that had some locally made treats on the counter and one of them was Apple Jacks. They're often found in country stores, small gas stations, and from time even mom and pop restaurants.īeing a northern transplant, the first time I had ever heard of them, was actually from my mother-in-law. You can find them in several varieties ranging from sweet potato to peach, however apple (I've been told) is the original. "Jacks", or Fried Pies, are something of a southern tradition.
