Ingredients for Mini Apple Pie Bites
This recipe is super easy to make and will definitely be your next family favorite! It can be made quickly for breakfast in the morning or serve it as a fun snack. We might even make these for afternoon snacks after school soon! ;) For these mini apple bites, all you will need is brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, unsalted butter, chopped pecans, a Granny Smith apple, and a tube of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. That’s it! You can either use fresh apples if you’ve decided to go apple picking to celebrate fall, or just grab them from the store. I love to use the Granny Smith because of how tart the apple is – it balances perfectly with the brown sugar! But, if you only have other varieties of apples at home, just use those up instead!
How to Make Mini Apple Pie Bites
Let’s get this fall party started! To make these easy mini apple bites, first preheat your oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper so everything is ready when these are all prepped! Arrange your crescent roll triangles on the baking sheet. Then, mix together your ¼ cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and sprinkle it on top of each triangle of dough.
Next up, we want to add some crunch! Grab 1/3 cup of chopped pecans and sprinkle each triangle with pecans.
Next up is adding in the apples! Cut up apples using a knife or apple cutter. I like to keep the skins on! Once cut, toss the apple slices in the 3 tablespoons of melted butter.
Once your triangles are sprinkled and your apples are ready to go, place an apple slice on the wide end of each triangle of dough. Roll the dough to wrap it around each apple. Then brush each crescent roll with butter and dust it with a bit more pumpkin pie spice. Once all of this is done, put the tray in the oven! Bake the mini apple bites for 10-12 minutes, and cool them for five minutes, and they are ready to be served!
