Key Tips for Making Apple Pie Fries

Full instructions in the recipe card below, but here are a few tips for making this fun & simple treat!

1. Pie crust selection is so important. Pre-made pie crusts are just so dang easy. But they’re not all created equally! Look for crusts labeled “all-butter” or “flaky” for a crisp, tender base.
2. Choosing the best applesauce. I love using our homemade chunky applesauce, but use your favorite. I think unsweetened is the best here, to get that tangy apple flavor.
3. Using the right oil for frying. Choose a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as canola, vegetable, or peanut oil. These oils prevent burning and maintain a clean flavor.

How long are these apple pie fries good for?

Apple Pie Fries stay fresh for about 1-2 days at room temperature. For longer storage, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat them in a low oven or toaster oven to keep the crust crispy.

Can I use homemade pie crust instead of pre-made?

Yes, homemade pie crust works well and may add a more personalized flavor. Make sure the dough is chilled before frying. The texture might differ slightly, but it will still be delicious.

Is it possible to make these Fries with a different type of filling?

Absolutely. Other fruit fillings like peach, cherry, or berry sauces can be used. Adjust the sugar and spice amounts to balance each fruit’s natural sweetness and tartness.

Are there any dipping sauce that pair well with these fries?

Vanilla glaze, caramel sauce, or whipped cream are popular choices. Plain Greek yogurt mixed with honey also pairs nicely for a lighter option.
