My maw used to dry apples in the late summer/fall when I was a kid. We would keep a close watch on the sky and run get them in the dry if it looked like rain. When they were dryed, all dark and shriveled up and tough if you bit into one, we would bring them in. She stored them in a clean, white, cotton, cloth bag in the kitchen in the bottom of a free standing cupboard.
Over in the winter, when there was no fresh fruit she would take out a quantity of those dried apples and cook them up with some real sugar, cinnamon, brown sugar and some other ingrediants/spice. You could smell them apples cooking with that spice all over the house !
Then she would make up some basic biscuit dough. As we were basically farm folk, my maw made the dough with pure, white lard that we had rendered from the fat of a fresh killed hog, over an open fire in a big ole' cast iron pot.
She would roll out that dough into big flat rounds and put a plenty of the cooked apples on one side of the rounds, fold the dough over the apples and crimp the edges with a fork. Then she would poke a very few little tiny holes in each side with the fork. Meanwhile the big cast iron frying pan was on the stove heating up with some melted lard and a little bacon fat.
She would fry them half round pies good and golden brown and set them on a flat pan on the stove with a big piece of brown paper, probably from one of the old timey heavy grocery bags, to drain some of the fat. Those were my favorite pies in the whole world. They would literally melt in your mouth and the warm, spicey apple filling would warm you up from the inside out. Man, they were like a sweet, warm fruit explosion flooding your whole mouth!
Well, maw has been gone a long time now. Since 82. We use a de-hydrator to do the apples. Butter-me-not canned bisquits are a sorry time saving substitute for the home-made busquit dough. The doctor and being older and health consious forbids the frying in lard so we bake them in the oven on a non-stick cookie pan. We do cheat a little and paint the up side with a little bacon fat and also the other side when we turn them half way through the baking cycle.
They aren't exactly Maw's pies but they are good and tasty. They still fill the house with a good aroma while cooking. A hot cup of joe goes well with them as does a cold glass of milk.
I guess those are my favorite.

My Mom's pumpkin pie.
The fried apple pies my mother made when I was a boy, and the apples came off the trees in our back yard. I think they were golden delicious, or that's what we thought they were, they weren't red ones.
Cherry
Blueberry
Lemon Meringue
Apple
Pecan
and one of my favorites although not pie is my mom's Apple Crisp. All of the above except the lemon served with homemade vanilla ice cream (about 3 scoops)

My wedding pie - pecan
Fellow S&Wers:
Pecan, apple, raisin (and country cousin, raisin eggnog, when available), cherry, and lemon meringue. Actually, I truly love most pies. The only one that I do not care for is - and I apologize in advance for I mean no offence - pumpkin pie.
Now, to see if I can cajole my better half into whipping up one of the aforementioned favorite pies.

You obviously didn't read my post
Sorry, Caj, but when I'm thinking about pies my mind wanders.
