Good day, friends! Thank you for joining me on Leisure Lane today. I have a couple of quick and delicious ideas for you with left over pie crust that I think you and your family will enjoy. Let’s get started!
Sugar and Cinnamon Strips
These are so delicious and super easy. Simply roll out any left over pie crust dough and cut into strips. I made mine approx. 1″ x 5″. You can also cut triangles, it’s up to you – whatever your imagination inspires. Place the strips on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and prick them with a fork. Next, in a small bowl mix cinnamon and turbinado sugar and sprinkle on the dough strips. Pop them in a 350F preheated oven for about 7-9 minutes. Every oven is different, so you want to make sure you watch them. When they’re lightly browned around the edges, they’re done. Let them sit a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooking rack.
Enjoy with some coffee, tea, or milk. These will probably last a day or two in a tightly sealed container – if they last that long, that is.
Peaches and Brown Sugar Delight
This second yummilicious dessert is also “easy as pie” 😉
For super quickness, use canned or jarred peaches. I like the kind in real fruit juices with no added sugar. Depending on how much pie crust dough you have left over will determine the size of the casserole or pie plate you’ll use. I had a small amount of dough left over so, I used a small casserole dish.
Prepare oven safe casserole dish by lightly coating with butter. Fill about half way with peach slices. Add a few Tablespoons of brown sugar, more or less to your taste. I don’t like anything too sugary sweet, just enough to give a sweetness and enhance the flavors. Roll out left over dough and add to top of peaches. My dough had been in the refrigerator for a couple of days and cracked a bit, so I placed ontop in pieces. It still tasted delicious!. If you add it in one piece, remember to prick some holes in the crust for steam to escape. Place in preheated 350F oven on top of a piece of aluminum foil (just in case there is any overflow) for about 30 minutes, until pie crust is lightly browned like in photo. When done, remove from oven and let cool before digging in. You can eat it warm topped with vanilla ice cream – O YUM! Or you can simply have it plain, which is how I enjoyed it.
These two recipes are sure to be a hit. If you prefer bigger batches of these recipes, you can always use a full recipe of pie crust. But, these were a couple of simple recipes for any left over dough you might have on hand.
I hope you were inspired by this post, and if you try them, please let me know. I’d love hearing from you.
Again, thank you for stopping by. Feel free to stroll about the lane. There is sure to be something here to inspire you. If so, please let me know and share with your friends and family. Well…
