Servings & Time

• Servings: 6–8

• Prep Time: 20 minutes

• Cook Time: 20 minutes

• Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)

• 10 oz apple pie filling

• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• Sparkling sugar (optional, for topping)

• Caramel sauce, for dipping

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Make the Apple Filling

If using canned apple pie filling, roughly chop the apple pieces into smaller bits for easier spreading. Set aside.

3. Assemble the Fries

1. Roll out one pie crust on a lightly floured surface.

2. Spread a thin layer of apple pie filling evenly over the crust.

3. Place the second pie crust on top to sandwich the filling.

4. Lightly press down the edges to seal.

4. Add Topping

In a small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Brush the top crust with beaten egg, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly. Add sparkling sugar for a festive crunch if desired.

5. Slice and Bake

Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the pie into long, thin strips (about ½ inch wide) to resemble fries.
Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each fry.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

6. Serve

Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with caramel sauce for dipping — or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Tips

• Make It Ahead: Prepare the unbaked fries, cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 day before baking.

• Dipping Variations: Try white chocolate, cinnamon glaze, or butterscotch sauce.

• Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the oven for crispiness.

• Fun Twist: Swap apple filling for cherry or peach for seasonal variations.
