Apple pie fries are a fun and delicious take on dessert that everyone will love to chow down on. The ‘fusion’ food blends together the shape of fried potato sticks and their finger-food friendly functionality with the sweet, yummy taste of all-American apple pie. The pie fries are topped with salt, aka sparkling sugar, and served with a side of ketchup, aka warm gooey caramel sauce!
Even if you’re not a baker you can manage to pull this recipe off, it’s quick, easy, and much more convenient than making a traditional apple pie from scratch. They will make your house smell amazing and come out the oven all crispy, warm, crunchy, and sugary sweet. Is your mouth watering yet?!
Here’s what you need and how to make them:
Ingredients:
1 can of apple pie filling – 2 pie crusts (Pillsbury were used in the video) – 1 egg (for egg wash) – ¼ cup sugar – 1 teaspoon cinnamon – ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg – sparkling sugar (coarse, large grained sugar)
Directions:
Set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While that’s heating up, place the can of apple pie filling in a food processor and pulse or blend it until smooth or the chunks are tiny. Lightly dust a flat surface with flour and lay out one of the pie crusts. Evenly spread the apple pie filling over the entire crust and then place the remaining pie crust right on top of it.
Use a pizza cutter to slice a series of vertical lines down the crust, then run a few horizontal cuts across it to make fry shapes. Refer to the video for a better idea on how to space the lines and exactly how large to make the fries. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and use a spatula to transfer the fries onto it.
In a bowl mix together ¼ cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg. Make an egg wash by mixing one egg with a dash of water, brush it over the fries, and then sprinkle the sugar mixture over them. Lightly sprinkle them with a little bit of sparkling sugar before baking for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove and allow them to cool before serving.
These taste great on their own but are definitely kicked up a notch when served with whipped cream, caramel, chopped nuts, or whatever toppings and dipping sauces you like!
