5 BRIGHT STARS! Used your Recipe #214575 for the pastry. Filled them with combination of fresh peaches (peeled and cubed, cinnamon and apricot preserves. Because I made them "Texas" sized I only got six pies. Fried two of them and baked four of them, but have to say my favorite is the FRIED . . . of course it would be! Thanks MD for a great recipe, will definitely make again!

I am eating one right now and they are very good. I never had an apricot before so I was surprised that me and my faimly took to these so well. I only fried one of the pies and baked the rest at about 375 F. I couldnt really taste a big diffrence between the baked and fried version. Anyways I really enjoyed this filling and plan on making these more often!
