It’s pie season, AKA the best time of year, so I thought it would be the perfect time to do a Waste Not post for leftover pie dough (you can read more about my Waste Not Series in my What to Do With Leftover Buttermilk post). I’d been meaning to write this post since I posted my Favorite Buttermilk Pie Crust recipe, because pie crust is one of those things you always have leftovers for, and you can make so many easy and delicious things with the scraps.
If you don’t feel like playing in the kitchen anymore, those scraps will keep until tomorrow or next month depending on how you store them.
Things to Make With Leftover Pie Dough
When you are ready to do something with the scraps, here are a few things you can make with them.
Cinnamon Sugar Pie Dough Cookies: Crispy, buttery pie crust cookies sprinkled with sweet and spicy cinnamon sugar. Jam Pop-tarts: Mini versions of the store-bought fav made with your favorite jam and a quick and simple powdered sugar glaze. Chocolate-stuffed Cookies: Pie dough cookies with melty chocolate chips inside that are rolled in powdered sugar. Pizza Roll-ups: A fun savory snack stuffed with pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni.
