Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier dough, consider substituting part of the oil with cold butter or using a combination of butter and oil. If you don't have buttermilk, you can easily make a substitute by mixing milk with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Make sure to flour your surface well when rolling out the dough to prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions
These dried apple pies can be served warm or at room temperature. Consider pairing them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of Icing With Style for a delightful dessert experience. They also make a great addition to a brunch spread alongside other sweet treats or Vegetarian recipes for variety.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dough wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to three days. To reheat baked dried apple pies, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through and crispy. Alternatively, a microwave can work for quick reheating, but it may soften the crust.
