In the Deep South, there is nothing like Fried Pies. Hubig Pies in New Orleans have been a favorite for many years. I have had them with every type filling you can imagine including Pineapple. Recently, I was at home for the holidays, and I had the pleasure of having home made Pecan Fried Pies. Well, it goes without saying they were fantastic, and the crust was great.Pecan Fried Pies
