Ingredients:  
For the pastry:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lard or vegetable shortening
2-3 tablespoons ice water
(Alternate method: use canned biscuits instead of making dough)
For the filling:
3 cups dried apples or 4 cups fresh apples
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice or nutmeg
Directions:
Directions:
Pastry: combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Cut into lard or shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle ice water over the mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly with a fork until dough forms a ball. Wrap ball with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour. To make the filling, cook the fruit in boiling water for 30 minutes or until tender. Cool and stir in sugar and spices. To assemble the tarts, separate the dough into desired sizes and roll it into a flat oval. Fill one half with fruit, leaving room around the edges, and fold the other side over. The end result will look like a half-circle. Crimp edges with a fork and deep fry at 375 F until golden brown. Note: Julia made the best-fried apple pies. Many times she made apple pies for Bob to take to his Lions Club events, like the annual Dove Shoot at Hereford Farms.
