I am not one to waste food. First off, it's expensive. Secondly, there already is enough waste in this world. The same goes with my perfect pie crust scraps. Hello, those can be used to make a tasty little snack with little to no effort on your part!
Since we've already made Frozen Berry Pie and got a taste of Grandma's Fresh Strawberry Pie, let's use the dough scraps to make Pie Dough Fries. Did someone say fries?! Oh yes I did.

Just roll out your scraps and cut them into 'fry' strips with a knife or pizza cutter. Then brush them with some melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on them. Voila! In roughly 10 minutes, you'll have yourself a sweet snack.
