Turning your leftover pie dough into "pie fries" takes nearly no time and allows you to use up every last bit of your excess ingredients. Simply roll out your pie dough slightly thicker than you would for a crust, cut it up into fry-sized strips, coat with butter and seasonings, and bake in a 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, keeping a close eye on your fries so they don't burn. While the most popular seasoning for pie fries is a coating of cinnamon and sugar, there are plenty of creative ideas that you can come up with based on the type of leftover pie crust you're using.
On the sweet side, a brush of butter and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon sugar like Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust is a quick and easy way to go. If you really want to give your pie fries an authentic feel, they'll need a dipping sauce like honey apple butter. If you've got leftover crust from a savory chicken or beef bourguignon pot pie recipe, you can play with these flavors for a twist on pie fries.
After brushing with butter, instead of adding a sweet mixture, try something like Trader Joe's Everything But the Leftovers Seasoning Blend for all the great savory flavors. These variations can make your pie fries unique and appealing, ensuring that you make the most out of your leftover ingredients.
