The pie crust dippers are delicious, but I use a small leaf cookie cutter instead of just cutting strips for a REALLY cute dipper! They are also great with pumpkin pie dip!
Great idea Conne, I think I have one of those cutters somewhere! Also for everyone who is asking about graham crackers, I bet they would be good. I was even thinking the Keebler Sugar Cookies would be good too if you didn’t have time or want to bake the pie crusts.
Graham Cracker sticks may be nice with these?
I was wondering the same. I was trying to think of what else we can dip with
I was thinking cinnamon sugar pita chips would be good too!
Oh my goodness. I forgot about those, they are sooo good!
Has anyone tried pieces of cinnamon graham crackers for dipping?
I had that same thought- why not use cinnamon graham crackers ?
Pie crust cookies are da bomb, just add your fav jam or jelly to the leftover pie crust scraps, fold over and bake! Positively yummy!
Do you ever leave the skin on?
I think that it would probably be good! The apples are just slightly cooked in the recipes, so I think the peels would taste fine!
I do not use anything out of a jar due to what is in it. (High fructose corn syrup, etc)
Do you know of a caramel recipe that can be made from scratch that is equal to this? It sounds awesome!!

Using a variety of kinds of apples always makes apple pie more interesting. I think that same method would work great with this.
Most people use brown sugar and butter to make caramel. You’d have to find the measurements for it. I know its yummy. Condensed sweet milk turns to caramel when boiled, not not sure it if contains corn syrup.
