Easy Apple Pie Bites
Quick and easy Easy Apple Pie Bites made with crescent rolls, apples, cinnamon, and sugar. A simple dessert ready in 35 minutes that brings all the flavor of apple pie in a fun bite sized treat.
Apple Pie Bites are one of those recipes that make you feel like you have pulled off a small miracle in the kitchen. They give you all the flavors of a classic apple pie but in a fraction of the time. I chose this recipe because I wanted a dessert that felt warm and homey without spending hours rolling dough and peeling apples.
When I served these, my family was hooked. The kids loved the size, perfect for little hands, and my wife appreciated that they paired so well with her evening coffee. These bites disappeared fast, which is always the best sign of a recipe worth keeping.
What I enjoy most is how practical these are. With a few pantry staples and a couple of apples, you can make a tray in half an hour. It is the kind of dessert that works for unexpected guests, after school snacks, or even a weekend breakfast treat.
There is also something nostalgic about the smell. The cinnamon, sugar, and apples fill the kitchen with the same warmth you get from baking a full apple pie. It is proof that simple recipes are often the most rewarding.
Questions You May Have About This Recipe
Do I need to peel the apples?
Peeling is optional. The skin softens while baking, so it comes down to preference.
Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent rolls?
Yes, puff pastry works well but will give a flakier result.
What apples are best for this recipe?
Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala are all good choices.
Can these be made ahead?
They are best fresh, but you can reheat them in the oven the next day.
Can I freeze them?
Yes, bake first, then freeze. Reheat in the oven before serving.
