Apple Pie "Fries"


Delicious little "fries" that taste like little apple pies in each bite!  Dipping these yummy "fries"  in caramel sauce makes them even yummier.  These are really simple to make too!  Using a convenient pre-made pie crust really saves a lot of time.  You can even substitute the apple pie filling with cinnamon flavored applesauce too!  And these "fries" are baked so no actual frying is involved. 


First start by placing the apple pie filling into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.  Spread this over one of the unrolled pie crusts leaving about 1/4 " space around the edges.

Roll out the second layer of dough and place over pie filling.


Add a little water to your egg and beat. Brush the egg mixture onto the top crust. Sprinkle with some cinnamon sugar. 


Using a pastry cutter or pizza cutter, cut into strips about 1/2 inch wide.


Then cut them again into shorter strips.  Carefully place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.   Remove from baking sheets to let cool.  Enjoy these dipped in caramel sauce.



Thanks for this yummy recipe from  Oh Bite It!
