Crispy Buttery Fried Apple Pie – Leftover Hack
Take leftover apple pie, and pan fry it in butter until crispy. That easy! Perfect for any 2-3 day old apple pie that’s a little soft. Crisp that crust and enjoy!
Prepare to be amazed by the delectable goodness of Pan-Fried Apple Pie. This simple yet delightful treat takes your leftover apple pie to new heights of flavor and texture. Pan-frying the pie slices in butter creates a crispy and caramelized exterior while retaining the warm and gooey apple filling inside. It’s an easy and quick way to transform a classic dessert into something truly extraordinary.
Ingredients:
- Leftover apple pie slices (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions:
- Take the leftover apple pie slices from your previous dessert adventure. If you don’t have any leftovers, you can prepare a fresh apple pie using your favorite recipe or purchase a pre-made pie from your local bakery or grocery store.
- In a non-stick skillet or frying pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is fully melted and the skillet is hot, carefully place the apple pie slices in the pan. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, so each slice has enough space to fry evenly.
- Let the pie slices cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they become golden brown and crispy. Gently flip the slices with a spatula to ensure both sides are evenly fried.
- As the apple pie slices fry in the butter, the aroma of warm apples and cinnamon will fill the air, making your kitchen smell like a cozy bakery.
- Once the pie slices are beautifully caramelized and crispy on both sides, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess butter.
- Allow the pan-fried apple pie slices to cool slightly before serving to avoid any hot caramelized apple filling mishaps.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, you can serve the pan-fried apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Treat Yourself to a Heavenly Experience: Add some vanilla bean ice cream to the top top of your pan-Fried Apple Pie to elevate a classic dessert to a whole new level.
