For those who’ve never had a fried hand pie – or “fry pie” – you’re in for a treat. Picture your favorite pie, but in a delightfully miniature, hand-held version that’s been lovingly filled and deep fried, then tossed in powdered sugar and/or coated with sticky-sweet glaze. Is your mouth watering yet?
