How to Make Apple Pie Bites

Ingredients

1 8-ounce can crescent rolls
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 Granny Smith apple: or you can use any variety that you like.
2 tablespoons butter (melted)

The entire recipe and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. You can print the recipe from the card, if needed.

Prep!

Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Chef’s Tip: line a baking sheet with a Silpat mat or parchment paper to prevent any juices that leak out from causing the pies to stick.

Create!

Separate and lay out the crescent dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Set aside 2 tablespoons.

Divide the rest of the sugar mixture evenly onto each of the pieces of crescent dough.

Peel and cut the apple into 8 slices and toss with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter.

Place one apple slice on one end of each of the pieces of crescent dough.

Roll the dough and apple up from one end to the other and tuck in the edges. Press the dough together to seal it closed around each apple.

Brush the tops of each roll with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle on the reserved sugar mixture.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Watch closely as the juices may burn if they leak out excessively.

Present!

Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. The apples inside tend to be much hotter than the outer crust.

You can serve these pie bites as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips and Techniques

Line your baking sheet with a Silpat mat or parchment paper to make clean up easier. Some juices may leak out of the pies while they bake.
You can use any apple variety that you like. Tarter apples give a nice sweet/tart contrast, while sweeter varieties will make the overall recipe even sweeter.
Store leftovers tightly covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Apple Pie Bites can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven to prevent sogginess.
