If y'all ever get around the north GA area, specifically Ellijay and Blue Ridge, there are tons of places that have fried pies. Most of the orchards have pies made inhouse with apples and peaches they picked! They have other fruits as well and I think maybe some cream pies like banana and cocoanut? Mercier in Blue Ridge and R & A in Ellijay are a couple to get you started. And you can visit The Varsity for apple and peach and as mentioned (not sure if they still have them) Walmart has ones just like McD's did when they were good.

Well, I know better than to pass up a good thing. How about fruit flavors, like peach, apricot or apple? Those would be my preferences. But, I imagine anything you make will be excellent. Thanks for thinking of me lleechef!

Buffetbuster---So when is this Oklahoma trip--got a couple of places you SHOULD check out---Smokehouse Bob's in Muskogee and Lovera's Market in Krebs are two MUST DO"S--

Thanks for the reply tiki. Too bad that they ended up closing down. I will cross them off the list for my Oklahoma trip.

Unfortunately Mama's is closed--think that Mama retired and the kids just couldn't keep the pies up to par and they lost interest

Don't know if you've tried them but Popeyes has a pretty good fried pie, either apple or sweet potato.

I learned to make fried pies at home from my mother. They're actually quite simple. Pie dough, cut into a round, filled 1/2 way with your filling of choice, fold the other side over, crimp with a fork, fry and dust with XXX sugar. My favorite is fresh blackberry picked from the thickets next to my mother's house.

tiki-
Earlier in this thread, you mentioned Mama's Fried Pies in Wagoner, OK. Do you know if they are still open? I can't find much information out about them.

Me too--welcome and thanks for the tip, that is! I'm in Oklahoma so i should be able to find them around here somewhere!

Welcome to Roadfood! Thanks for the tip on Letha's Pies. I will be driving through that area on vacation in a little more than a month and I will do my best to stop in.

There is a place in West Fork, AR that makes them and ships them to restaurants and conveniences stores and they are great! I know they are in all the states that surround them. They are called Letha's Pies. The crust is flaky and light and the coconut cream is to die for! The others are good too but coconut cream is my favorite.

A young couple just recently opened a fried-pie place in Oklahoma City at I-35 and Hefner Road, just south of the Frontier City Amusement Park. I haven't tried them yet, but they seem busy. Here's their website.

There's also one along I-35 near Turner Falls called "Nancy's Original Fried Pies" that has excellent pies. If you're traveling the interstate, you can even call ahead on your cell phone and they'll have your order ready when you get there. He also has a franchise location in OKC at NW 50th and Portland.

Fried Apple Pies are available in Waynesville North Carolina! I make them and sell them at some local convenience stores, The RiverRock Grill, and I also sell them frozen by the dozen so you can fry as many as you like whenever you want one! They are called "Mama Moody's Fried Pies. MamaMoody was my grandmother who fed me my very first fried pie and I have been told that mine are even better than hers! Imagine That! If you are interested in buying a dozen frozen, you can email me at: williemoandersen@yahoo.com

Well, I got my fried apple pies from Mrs. Armstrong a couple of days ago, and I'm happy to say that they're pretty good. Not quite like my Aunt Ruby's down in NC, of course, but definitely worth the money. I found that by putting one in a pre-heated oven ( about 375 degrees ) for 4 or 5 minutes, they come out nice and hot with a slightly crispy crust. An enjoyable taste of the mid-south, IMO.

Ort. - you'll be glad to know that the last time I was in North Carolina ( back in Sept. ), the B & G fried pies could still be found in the local Food Lion. I've had a few, and they're pretty good for store-bought pies.

Lordy, I love fried apple pies - nothing like ' em! Just out of the skillet, nice and hot and greasy, with a great homemade crust. This thread sure is bringing back some wonderful childhood memories. Back in the ' 60s, when we'd drive down to North Carolina to visit relatives, my aunt in Winston-Salem made the best fried pies I've ever tasted. Homemade crust ( probably lard ), and delicious apple filling; boy, do I miss those. I just ordered some fried apple pies from a little outfit near Nashville called Mrs. Armstrong's Fried Pies ( they can be ordered thru their website ), and I anticipate delivery by the end of the week. I'll be sure to let y'all know whether they're worth ordering or not.

I've eaten the fried pies from Mama's in Wagoner, Oklahoma, and while they aren't bad, they aren't like my mother used to make. The Wagoner pie filling tastes like canned pie filling to me, although it may not be. My mother used to buy dried apples, peaches, apricots, etc. and cook them until tender to use for her pie filling. She also used an electric skillet to fry the pies because she could keep the heat even. You have to cook them just the right amount of time on each side so as not to burn them but to make sure that the crust is done all the way through. Then, she would sprinkle the crusty hot pies with a little bit of cinnamon/sugar. Yum!

This past summer I visited Lane Packing Company in Fort Valley Georgia and had the absolute best fried peach pie I've ever tasted. The crust was yellow and buttery tasting, as if shortened with butter-flavored Crisco or something; and the filling was great. Because of the high volume of visitors there in season, the kitchen was operating continuously to turn these babies out, hence the pies were always fresh from the fryer. The peach ice cream was, frankly, disappointing; but these warm, flakey, buttery, peachy pockets of bliss were worth the trip!

Dearfolk,
I have three leads / pieces of information for y'all.
1) The Varsity in Atlanta and Athens, Georgia sells a mighty lot of their fried pies. I think they make apple and peach and that's it.
2) There used to be a commercial fried pie bakery in Centreville, Tennessee, about 50 miles west of Nashville on Highway 100... way out past The Loveless. I don't remember the name, but it's posted on another thread similar to this one. I think they're still in business.
3) B & G Fried Pies from Winston-Salem, N. C. may also still be in business. Gad, their chocolate and coconut and raisin were some mighty fine pieing, lemme tell y'all.
Country Girl, I hope you get an answer soon... your hands sound tired.
Somewhat Crustily, Ort. Carlton in Multi-Flavored Athens, Georgia.

Countrygirl, Where do you sell your fried pies. I am always looking for them when in Western N.C.

Sorry BR--but i think they have closed down--it was located right on 69 on the north side of town---east side of the road---but last time i went through i didnt notice it.

That's too bad.... I love fried Pie's. There was one called "Original Fried Pie's" that opened in Broken Arrow a couple years ago but didn't make it past the first year.

My family,which is in the hills of N.C. have been frying apple pies for over 20 years. I started about 3 years ago here, and I just can't keep up with the demand! Does anyone out there know a faster way? I have tried differant crimpers but they only get stuck in the dough! What a mess! I heard about a lady who had a crimper that worked by an aircompressor. She had a pedal she pushed with her foot to lower the crimper. I can't find anything anywhere about this. Sure would help a wore out country girl and free up some time for other activities!
