Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you need to make Mini Apple Pie Bites.

• 1 8 oz container crescent rolls
• 1 Granny Smith apple (sliced)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce (optional)

How to make apple pie bites

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a small bowl combine brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon and mix together with a fork to combine, set aside. Roll out the crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet and using a knife of pizza cutter separate each triangle.
2. Melt butter in a microwave-safe dish and spread over the crescent rolls. Sprinkle each triangle with the cinnamon sugar mixture and chopped pecans. Slice apple into 1/4 inch slices and place one slice at the wider end of each crescent roll. Begin rolling the dough from the wide end to the narrow end and arrange on the baking pan.
3. Brush with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake for 13 minutes. Top with caramel sauce and serve.
4. Serve warm with ice cream and whipping cream!! YUM!

Do crescent rolls go bad? 

Yes, crescent rolls can go bad regardless if they have been refrigerated, unopened, and are within their expiration date. The key to making sure they have not spoiled is by smelling them after you open them. 

They should have a sweet, pleasant aroma about them. 

Which apples are good for apple pie? 

Although these apple pie bites are not actual apple pie, they are similar so using Granny Smith apples are a great choice. Granny Smith apples are firm, slightly sweet and a bit sour so when cooked they don’t get super mushy and retain their delicious flavor and texture. 

These apple pie bites with crescent rolls make life so simple when you are in a hurry and want something decadent to serve family and friends. It is such an easy recipe! I mean if you have the time to make homemade pie crust, GO FOR IT!

But! I promise no one will ever complain about the insane deliciousness of baked cinnamon apples surrounded by a brown sugar and cinnamon mixture nestled in a buttery soft puffed pastry, baked and topped with warm gooey caramel sauce. 

This apple pie bites recipe will be a Summer time slam dunk that will only make is seem like you spent hours in the kitchen when really all it takes is 20 minutes, but who’s counting!
