1 c. all purpose flour
1/4 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
2 T. shortening
1/3 c. boiling water
1 c. cherry pie filling
oil for frying
1/4 c. maple syrup
1/4 c. whipped topping
In small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until just moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times.
Divide dough into four portions; roll each into an 8 inch circle. Place 1/4 c. of pie filling in center of each circle. Fold dough over filling; secure with toothpicks.
In a skillet, heat 1 inch of oil to 375. Fry pies, folded side down, in the oil for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn and fry 2-3 minutes longer. Drain on paper towels. Remove toothpicks. Serve with syrup and whipped topping. Yield 4 servings.
