A couple weeks ago I was driving past a dollar store when I noticed a gigantic sign advertising that they were selling $1 ribeye steaks.
Against my better judgement I bought five of them and although they’re still sitting at home in my freezer until I can work up the courage to give them a try I also picked up a couple $1 slices of apple pie which surprisingly, when breaded, deep fried and covered with melted chocolate and powdered sugar were pretty great!
Do you need to use dollar store apple pie slices for this recipe? Absolutely not! Maybe you’re having a cookout for Memorial Day and maybe your Grandma Betty is coming over and maybe — if you’re lucky enough — she’s bringing one of her world-famous homemade pies.
If that’s the case just throw a slice in the freezer and in an hour or so it’ll be frozen enough to not completely fall apart when you want to deep fry it. Trust me, this step is very important because there’s nothing worse than wasting a slice of Grandma Betty’s delicious apple pie.
Similarly, If you prefer to just eat your Deep Fried Apple Pie with a fork go for it. I actually got stuck buying a bag of 250 popsicle sticks for this blog post, and seeing as how I only used two of them I now have 248 left just sitting in a drawer in my kitchen.
On the plus side, that means I’ve got a ton more recipes of deep fried stuff on sticks coming up! I mean, I guess I could just use them for actual popsicles, but using a deep fryer is always way more fun….
So, no matter what you’re cooking up — literally or figuratively — this Memorial Day just make sure you’re also got some Pepto-Bismol handy to cure all of your 5 symptoms from enjoying all those foods you love! If you don’t have any then you can click here for a $1 off printable coupon.
