TikTok Viral Recipe Wrap Challenge

A few months ago, a quesadilla hack recipe went viral on TikTok. A tortilla was used to wrap around several types of quesadilla filling, creating great layers of flavor. Then, the #wrapchallenge took off and people started posting lots of variations of the quesadilla hack.

I think it’s a cool concept. So, I wanted to try the hack using pie crust and different fun pie fillings and toppings.

Ingredients for apple pie hack recipe:  pie crust, apple pie filling, Reeses pieces, caramel sauce, and cinnamon graham crackers

How To Make The Apple Pie Hack

  • Roll out a pie crust (I used store bought)
  • Cut a slit half way through.
  • Add apple pie filling to 1/4 of the crust just to the left of the slit.

Be sure to leave 1/2 to 1 inch of crust on the outer edges of the pie. These edges will get pinched together later.

    I’ve never seen Reeses Pieces paired with apple pie before! I have to try this out. But I’m obsessed with this foldover technique!
