Ingredients:

1 pack of apricots (dried, 6 ozs)
1-1/3 c of water
1/4 c of white sugar
Canola oil
2 Tbsps of cream-cheese
1 pack of pie shells; refrigerated

Instructions:

Bring water w/ apricots to boil on medium stove heat. Then, cook for half an hour; drain well. Mash w/ a masher ’til smooth. Completely cool.

Process cream-cheese and sugar in blender ’til smooth. Put in the apricots and pulse 2-3 times ’til blended. Then, roll crusts into 12 inch circles and cut each to 9 circles (4-inch). Spoon two big tsps of apricot mix onto 1/2 of every pie circle.

Use water to moisten the edges; fold the dough on fruit mix, pressing the edges for sealing. Crimp the edges w/ use of fork earlier dipped into flour. Then, pour in oil about 1/2-inch deep in heavy large skillet and heat over 350 deg F.

Next, fry the pies for 2 mins on every side, in different batches. If baking is preferred, put on baking sheet pans greased lightly. Bake over 425 deg F about 12 mins.
