Leftover Pie and Ice Cream Sundaes with Salted Caramel Sauce

Who doesn’t love leftover pie? But after a healthy helping (or two, no judgment), all that fruity filling just seems to fill up your fridge. Why not take it to the next decadent level? This pie-meets-sundae dessert mash-up gives new life to your leftover pie — and as a bonus, rescues all that extra ice cream collecting freezer burn.

The Salt:
A little sweet and a little savory, in every bite. Morton® Fine Sea Salt blends quickly and evenly into the caramel for a rich, smooth sauce that dreams are made of. And finishing this sundae with Morton® Coarse Sea Salt brings a salty, deliciously unexpected pop of crunch and ensures the flavors of the leftover pie and ice cream shine through.
