Deep-Fried Deliciousness: What Makes an Oklahoma Fried Pie?
First things first: it ain't your grandma's apple pie. These bad boys are deep-fried, not baked. Imagine a golden, flaky crust cradling a warm, gooey filling of fruit, savory goodness, or even something sweet and creamy. It's like a warm hug from the inside...fried.
The crust itself is a thing of beauty. Not too thick, not too thin, it's like a buttery, slightly sweet biscuit that shatters in the best way possible. The fillings are where things get interesting. We're talking classics like apple, cherry, and peach, but Oklahoma takes it up a notch. Think savory fillings like chicken pot pie, cheeseburger, or even Frito chili (it's a thing, trust me). Don't forget the sweet and creamy options – chocolate, coconut cream, and my personal favorite, peanut butter and banana.
Tip: Summarize the post in one sentence.
Pro Tip: Don't be shy! Grab a napkin (you'll need it) and dive right in. These pies are best enjoyed warm, when the filling is all melty and the crust is perfectly crisp.
