    I've tried several recipes so far, and this one meet with the entire family's approval. I don't have a stand mixer, so I had to do all kneeding by hand, I couldn't find the instant yeast, so I disovled dry active in the milk (warmed first of course prior to mixing. Everything went exactly as it was supposed to though. I got good rise and proofing, iceing was perfect. Even my wife (not a big Alton fan I'm sad to say loved them. Another great one from the mad scientist of cooking. Thank you Mr. Brown!

    I made Alton's Super Apple Pie today, and had extra apples, so I made up this pasty dough, and it worked out great for the apple turnovers we made. Tasted great! BTW the pie was AWESOME!

    I needed a dough I can fill with sweet and salty food, as well different ways of cooking the turn overs. With this recipe I was able to learn a different dough as the one I was cooking with.
    These recipes were great, although I tried the dough but with my own fillings.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    After reading the reviews, I gave the recipe a try. I made baked Chocolate Pies. The first batch, did ooze considerable chocolate filling, but it was still delicious. The second batch, I made sure to gently squeeze any extra air before sealing, then instead of cutting slits, I poked with my two-pronged fondue forks (3 pokes across the top. These turned out much, much better! Any extra ooze I put on top of the holes to seal in the filling. It worked!

    I made a 1/2 recipe and it came out great...used my own filling of chopped apples, raisins, walnuts, splenda/brown sugar, lemon juice, bit of butter. I was planning on using a square of Hershey Extra Dark chocolate in one to see if it accomplished the chocolate filling without the bubble-out (I think due to too much butter in the recipe...but didn't have enough dough and too much apple filling. I baked mine and the crust is perfect.

    I just want to say to everyone complaining about how this recipe isn't the traditional Cornish Pasty....these aren't supposed to be the original recipe. This is Mr. Brown's version of one that can be made easily and as a use for leftovers. They are better then the frozen garbage you get in the store and better for you. If you have trouble with leakage...try not putting too much filling in your pie, and make sure you vent the tops. Good luck to all. Chef Kristen

    My family is from the South and of course, no one could cook better than my Grandmother.
    I have tried for years to duplicate my Grandmothers Fried Chocolate Pies. She would dollop this and dollop that.
    I have been successful with her apple filling and peach filling, but have always falled short with the chocolate ones.
    Your filling is close and I was so impressed and blessed with this show.
    I will now be able to make Fried Chocolate Pies for this Christmas.
    Everyone in our family recalls requesting these the minute we walked into her kitchen.

    Just plain ol' soul food!

    Hey, Elvis loved these as well and must have requested bananas mixed in with the chocolate.

    Thanks Alton,
