This recipe is so much fun, so silly easy, and has SO MANY possible variations my head is spinning with ideas~I bet yours will be too!
Do I have your attention?
OMG
Apple pie filling, walnuts, pie crust, more apple pie filling and caramel sauce. Enough said, let’s get busy!
Puree the apple pie filling
Spread it in an even layer on one pie crust dough round, just shy of the edges, and sprinkle with walnuts.
Top with 2nd pie crust dough round and brush with beaten egg. Sprinkle liberally with sugar. I used coarse brown sugar and some white sparkling sugar from the baking isle.
Cut into “fry” shapes with a fluted dough cutter or a knife and bake until golden brown
Careful! Don’t burn your fingers or your mouth trying to taste one! Be patient, let these puppies cool off…
Be sure to have some dipping sauce on hand, more apple pie filling puree, and some caramel ice cream topping
You are now smiling with delight
and probably drooling
I know, stop it, right?
Well, apples and nuts are healthy~
and the crust is just the vehicle used to get it into your pie hole sweet little mouth !
Can’t you just image the possibilities here? Blueberry, Cherry, Salted Chocolate Caramel…how about some savory ones like ham and cheese, or a taco filling? Serving sweet ones with a bowl of ice cream..…I will be making these again soon!
