The leaves are changing, the Halloween costumes are coming together, and pie season is officially upon us.
Making a pie is great, and eating one is even better — but what's not so fun is throwing out all that excess dough when you're done cooking. Thankfully, a food blogger is going viral with a solution for that exact issue.
In September, Josh (who goes by @joshisbaking on Instagram) shared a hack for making the most out of extra pie crust. His suggestion? Turn those scraps into tiny, tasty cinnamon sugar bites.
"PSA: Don't throw out those pie dough scraps," Josh captioned his post.
Josh's recipe uses just four ingredients, all of which you almost certainly have in your kitchen — especially if you've just made a pie.
To start, he rolls the extra pie crust into a ball, then flattens it and cuts it into ¼-inch pieces. Next, he coats them in egg wash before cooking. Once they're ready, he sprinkles on some cinnamon and sugar.

"That is such a good idea," one user wrote.
"The perfect snack," another agreed.
