** “Salt and Ketchup” term disclaimer:
.. “Salt and Ketchup” are used as a play on words in this recipe and not meant to be literal descriptors. “Salt” is really sugar sprinkled on the “Fries” to mimic the look of salt typically found on fries. “Ketchup” is really Caramel Sauce, used as a dip for the Apple Pie”Fries”. I apologize to the few (many lol) of you who didn’t quite get it, and actually dipped your salty apple pie fries into real ketchup! Sorry for the confusion! 🙂
When it comes to desserts, it just doesn’t get much better in life than a nice slice of good old, all-American Apple Pie!
Unless of course you can grab that Apple Pie and take it wherever you’d like to go.
~Perfectly flaky, pretty little, sweet sticks of portable Apple Pie!
And this Pie is in ‘French Fry’ form…another all American favorite snack delight! These “Fries” are not only super delicious, but how cute are they with their easy-to-eat, adorable presentation, and sweet sugary “salt”?!
Sweet Apple Pie Filling is the glue that lovingly holds the two flaky layers of Pie Crust together, all baked into tons of perfectly puffed, “Fries” of happiness!
Kids and kid’s at heart will just love this fun and easy way to enjoy Apple Pie! You can even make it A La Mode and dip them into some ice Cream…Ohhh yeahh! 🙂
What you’ll need for 25-30 Apple Pie Fries:
1 Package of Pillsbury Refrigerated pie Crust (2 ct.)
Approx. 1.5 cups of Apple Pie Filling
1 Egg
Sparkle Sugar for sprinkling..a.k.a. “Salt”
Caramel Sauce and/or Ice Cream for dipping
A food processor..optional!
A decorative edge roll-cutter..optional!
Directions:
Chop up the Apple Pie Filling as best as you can. I used a food processor and it worked great!
Unroll each crust and spread the Filling onto one of them…leave a 1/8″ border around the edge…(better than I did..lol)
Put the other Pie Crust on top and press lightly to secure it.
Make an egg wash by mixing the egg with a splash of water.
Brush some egg wash on the top, and sprinkle it with the Sugar “Salt”…
Cut strips about 1/2” thick and then cut those into “fry” shapes…
Place them carefully onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake them at 350 degrees for approx. 12 minutes, or until they’re slightly golden and firm…
Make sure and serve them with some Caramel “Ketchup” for dipping…
There are plenty to go around for sharing..
Well…maybe~
Grab some for you first..just in case! ~Enjoy! 🙂
Could you use Cinnamon Applesauce instead of the apple pie filling?
Yes..definitely 🙂
There Many Types Of Filling You Can Use. You Can Make It With Any Fruits And Or Pie Fillings, Any Meat Fillings, And Or Any Cheese Fillings. Be Creative So And Other To Enjoy.
Why Do You Put Capitals At The Start Of Every Word? I’m Genuinely Curious, Because Loads Of People Do It And I Don’t Know Why.
I know it’s not totally correct, however I like to do it when I use a title of either a product or to highlight an ingredient within the sentence. I think of it as “creative expression”…looks better to me that way. In typical writing, or correspondence I’m a stickler for grammar/spelling/context perfection! 🙂
I think they would be delicious with either pineapple or even lemon. I’m definitely going to make some.
YUM!
you’re such a genius!!!
These May make an appearance at our spa day. Thanks
I am drooling…I am definitely making these this weekend!! 🙂
Is the cookie sheet sprayed/lined with anything? I can’t wait to try these =)
I used parchment paper. 🙂 Hope you love them!
I just made them using wax paper and USE some type of Spry so they wont stick ! Mine did stick , not bad but they did , they still turned out very good ! I also didn’t have apple pie filling , so I used apple sauce , and very good !
Oh my these look soo good!!!
I have pie dough in the fridge and so far I haven’t used it because I can’t decide what to make with it. All of the pie dough recipes on your site just look to die for!!!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Sparking sugar “salt”. What is that? It’s not regular salt like table salt?
It’s just coarse sugar..for decorating. It gives the fries a salt look. 🙂
I think sprinkling both course sugar and some kosher salt would be good. Nothing better than salted caramel. I think you need something to cut all the sweet.
omg that sounds divine right now! craving a pie
Clear chunky cupcake sprinkles. Target usually has it in the baking isle with the other sprinkles.
could also turbinado sugar. its a bit more chunky and better for you than white sugar
Hobby Lobby calls it “Sanding Sugar” and sells it in multiple colors.
Yeah I was really confused by the way this was worded. I thought she meant for us to use sea salt as well. I have already put the sea salt on top so I guess I will just have to deal with it. I was thinking ‘salted caramel’ would be a nice way to cut the sweet so I didn’t think much of it. These are not actually fried potatoes Amy so if you could refrain from telling us to use “salt” in an attempt to be cute, the rest of use would really appreciate it.
I added a disclaimer…thank you for bringing that to my attention.
You need to actually use your common sense sometimes. This author was polite in her response to your snarkyness, but really, did you go out and buy ketchup to put on this dessert too?
Sometimes I fear for our future when I read comments like this from people who are too stupid to know she meant sugar. Another sign of our crappy education system, I guess. 🙁
Haha..amen! 🙂
These look delicious!
But seriously, people actually thinking that was real salt and ketchup? Idiot alert….
Your type of comment is the reason so many stop sharing and blogging – UGH.
Those are scare quotes, guys. Sugar “Salt” reads as Sugar (Not actually salt). This is why you don’t use them for emphasis. Eg: “Great” Bargains!
Love this site and the recipes. I would have thought that everyone knew,when something is in quotes after something, it means NOT literally! Just looks like!
Keep up the good work.
Aww…thank you and LOL!!
I have tried these with both apple and pineapple. They are delicious but for some reason my filling all squishes out the sides. Am I getting to much filling in them ? ty
Try freezing them after you fill them it also makes it easier to cut lol
OMG! These look so delicious!
I wonder if one could find a way to make “Salted Toffe”-type “fries”? Just because toffee isn’t bad enough for you in the first place, but you gotta surround it in some sort of dough!
OMG, I am SO going to make these!!!
these look great! thinking of using coarse brown sugar??
Sounds great! 🙂
What a sinful, calorie laden, recipe! And I’m going all the way down eating my fries and enjoying every bite!! Thank you for sharing!! =)
sounds won derful..I’m tryimg these tomorrow..Wonder if raw sugar as its heavier will make it like salt sugar? I’m going to try it..ty.will let you know how they are.
This would be a good time to try the recipe that calls for turning a can of sweetened condensed milk into caramel by using a crock pot.
My mom does the sweetened condensed milk caramel thing, but in a Dutch oven on the stove. Fill with water to cover the can and low boil for an hour and a half on the stove. Delicious!
condensed can of milk turning to caramel definitely does work. I just boil it on top of stove in a pot!!
These are seriously so smart!!! I love this idea.
That is a pretty creative treat!
I make these but with cherry pie filling!!!! Yummo
Oh my word. These sound amazing. You’ve given me some really good ideas. I think I need to avoid making these though, I’d probably eat the whole batch!
Making these now looks good
OMG… These look delicious! Can’t wait to try these! My kiddies will just love them! 🙂
Brilliant! I am definitely gonna try these!
