1 Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 Unroll the pie crust onto the parchment paper. Whisk the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and brush over the crust; dust the top with cinnamon sugar. Let air dry for 5 minutes, then cut into squares or other shapes. Spread out on the baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes.
3 Add the pie filling to a small saucepan and set over low heat. Cover with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until warm, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, if using.
4 Portion the warmed apples into serving bowls. Add the cinnamon-sugar pie pieces and top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
