I am a Yankee, Chicago born and raised.
Doofus is a Southerner born and raised in Louisiana.
Is a FRIED PIE fried or baked?
Opinions, please...
Thank you.

Grandma (from Tx and Oklahoma) fried them. There is a BBQ place right up the road from where I stay near Greenville, Tx and they fry theirs. They're not as good as grandma's, their grease was old. Mom fried hers. Never had a fried pie that was baked.

Momma always baked hers, filled with figs, fig jam or strawberry fig jam, even sweet potatoes, YUM.
I keep trying to convince Mitch that just as many are baked as fried now days. She even Googled Baked "fried" pies!

don't even know what a fried pie is unless your talking about a turnover which is like a pastry, baked

IMO, if it's baked, it's not a fried pie. Might be a baked version of one, but can't call it a fried pie anymore. Now that doesn't mean the fake fried pie won't be good, but it would be an imposter.

Duh, a fried pie is FRIED... My Grandma made awesome fried pies with many fruit fillings. One time I tried to get her to make Natcitoches (spelled wrong I know, but I've been gone from LA for 18 years
) meat pies, she wouldn't even consider it....

mmmm just a thinking here. Well now I fry my eggplant first then baked in the oven afterwards with cheese and sauce...that's a fied and baked thingy...ain't no pie but sure is good. Hahaha. But I have to admit when I first heard fried pies I wondered..till I had one. Yep fried pies are good and don't think they bake them after they fry them and put powdered sugar on top...now I'm hungry.
Having coffee with toast sure would like a fried pie.
God Bless

All the fried pies I have ever had have been fried. When I think baking, that's a regular pie. Cherry fried pies are my favorites.

I spent several hours walking around the local parish fair in Jennings, Louisiana last month and their 'fried' pies were certainly 'fried' in a large 'fryer'. And they were very good also!!!

I avoid both frying and baking (cooking altogether!) and I have never encountered a fried pie. My grandma baked her fruit pies in her oven. Seems to me that fried is fried and that baked is baked. But, as I am not a cook in any sense of the word, what do I know!
P.S.----I was able to post a morning blurb with this firewall turned off!
