1	pkg.	dried apples (8 oz.)
1	c.	water
1/3	c.	sugar
1	tbsp.	butter or margarine
1	can	flaky biscuits (10 oz.)
		vegetable oil - for frying

Combine apples and water in saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until tender.  Cool.  Mash slightly if necessary.  Stir in sugar and butter; set mixture aside.

Roll each biscuit into a 5 inch circle on a lightly floured surface.  Place about 2 tablespoons apple mixture on half of each biscuit circle.  To seal pies, dip fingers in water and moisten edges of circles.  Fold in half, making sure edges are even.  Using a fork dipped in flour, press edges firmly together.  Pour oil to a depth of ½ inch into a heavy skillet.  Fry pies in hot oil (375°) over medium-high heat on both sides until golden, turning once.  Drain well on paper towels.
