  • About

Nana loved cooking, but she was never above a shortcut that got her out of the kitchen faster. Her fried pies use flour tortillas in place of dough, and they can be made in no time.

Ingredients

  • 1 (21-ounce / 595-g) can apple or peach pie filling
  • 8

Method

  1. If the fruit in your pie filling is in whole slices, place pie filling in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely chopped, about 6 pulses. (You don’t want large chunks of sliced fruit for these pies.)
  2. Fill a small bowl with water and set it by your workstation. Spoon about 3 tablespoons filling onto one tortilla, being sure to only spread the filling
