Hey,

So tonight I came up with an awesome idea.

Tonight I talked to someone who said, "yeah, I wanted to make a lemon meringue pie, but I made too much lemon meringue, so I had sort of this side dish of lemon meringue pie sans pie crust.

Well, you know, making a pie crush from scratch can be a pain in the butt. It occurs to me, however, that you could do the following:

Make a pie crust, but don't put it in the pie pan, just roll it out, a bit thicker than average and bake it up. Then cut it into triangles. The pie filling gets heated up separate.

Now dip your pie-ta chips into the filling and enjoy!

My mom used to do something along these lines with leftover pie dough. She'd roll it out and cut it into strips (or shapes with a cookie cutter if she was feeling particularly June Cleaverish), brush with butter and then sprinkle with cin-sugar and bake. Yummy. It'd be easy enough to make them for dipping purposes too. :)
