One of the best parts of making pie crust is that you always have pie crust leftover! Use the leftovers to make Pie Fries which are flaky, tender and covered in cinnamon sugar.
To make your pie dough please follow my Perfect Pie Crust Tutorial.
How to Make Pie Fries
- Roll out dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Roll your dough out a little thicker than you would for a pie crust. This pastry is so tender and flaky that if they are too thin they will break when you try to remove them from the cookie sheet.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut out the size of fries that you’d like. I made mine about 3/4″ wide and 4″ long.
- Brush dough with melted butter.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Transfer pie fries and parchment paper to a baking sheet.
- Bake in a 350 degree F oven 10-12 minutes or until pie fries are golden brown around the edges.
- Bake in 350 degree oven for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Time will depend on thickness of fries.
- After pulling them out of the oven, run the pizza cutter through the dough on the previous cut lines again, while the dough is warm.
- Allow them to cool and then they are ready to eat!
I like to dip them into a little raspberry or strawberry jam. A little nutella or my homemade caramel sauce would be pretty amazing too!

I made these without cinnamon and used them for a lemon meringue dip.
Lauren Behl says
I left the crust in a circle so they could be cut into triangles.
The circle blew up for lack of a better word. Very puffy !
I think I should have poked holes in it prior to baking

Loved these! My grandmother used to make these and I’ve searched high and low to find a recipe online. So glad I found these.
