apple pie fries with salted caramel sauce

As much as we love stuffing apple pie into our pieholes, we have to admit it’s a production. Once you crack out a fruit pie, you'll only have a slice or two before needing someone else to help you finish the rest. You’ll also need a plate and fork, and maybe even a dollop of ice-cream. It's no wonder we seldom whip one up from scratch.

That's why we jumped for joy when we saw this clever recipe for baked apple pie fries. Nagi over at RecipeTinEats has turned the classic treat into a snack, and made it super-easy to share, too. Her shortcut involves canned apple-pie filling and pre-made pastry sheets (if you can't find the former, you can try using canned apple slices). Once the fries come out all golden from the oven, they're served with salted caramel dipping sauce (we’ll take a bucket of that, thanks).
