How To Make Apple Pie Fries

This recipe comes together in just a few steps. First, make the apple pie spread by blending the apple pie filling until the mixture is smooth and spreadable.

Unroll the pastry sheets and spread with apple pie filling. Place the other pastry sheet on top and then cut into strips. To make the cutting easier, you can place the layered pastry sheets in the freezer until firm. Bake until golden.

Tips For Making Baked Apple Pie Fries

– Look for refrigerated pie crusts in-store, also known as short crust pastry. You can also make your own short crust pastry. In a food processor, blend together 14 oz all-purpose flour, 7 oz cold butter, and a pinch of salt until it starts to resemble crumbs. Slowly add 3.2 oz of cold water and continue to process until just combined.

– Make your own salted caramel sauce. Cook 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup water, ½ cup heavy cream, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter until golden.

– You can also make these in the Airfryer or deep-fry them for extra crispiness!

– If you’re using apple sauce, the filling might not be sweet enough. Add a bit of honey or sugar to the filling before blending it.

– To make your own apple pie filling, cook chopped apples with a squeeze of lemon, water, and sugar until thickened and apples cooked through.

How To Store Apple Pie Fries

The Apple Pie Fries will keep in the fridge (in an airtight container) for up to 2 days. They can also be frozen. Reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.
