How to Make Apple Pie Fries in the Oven
Step 1: Remove the pie crusts from their package and set them on the counter to warm up. Allowing the crusts to soften will make them easier to work with.
Step 2: Then preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 3: Spray a 9 x 13-inch cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Step 4: Next, use a large knife to dice up the apples from the pie filling into smaller pieces. Dice them very small they remain inside the pie crust as they bake.
Step 5: Next, dust the counter or a clean cutting board with some flour and roll out one pie crust.
Step 6: Spread the diced apple pie filling in a thin, even layer over the entire pie crust, leaving the very edge of the crust bare.
Step 7: Then unroll the second pie crust and lay it on top, then use a fork to pinch together the outside edge of the pie crusts.
Step 8: Using a pizza cutter, cut ½-inch strips from one side of the pie to the other. Then, cut those strips in half lengthwise.
Step 9: In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Step 10: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then brush the tops of the apple pie fries with egg wash. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture, then dust with sanding sugar.
Step 11: Transfer the unbaked fries to the greased baking sheet.
Step 12: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 13: Serve with caramel dip or whipped cream for extra decadence.

Helpful Tips & Substitutions
Sanding sugar is a large sugar crystal that doesn’t melt when heated. It also reflects light, making it look shiny, and great for decorating!
Yes, you can use your own pie crust in this recipe!
I love using Baker’s Joy with flour in it when baking with a non-stick spray!
