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

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!

Here’s the recipe:

APPLE WALNUT PIE FRIES

These sweet treats might look like french fries, but instead of ketchup you dip them in caramel or apple pie filling…a fun sweet treat to make, serve and eat!
