    Apple Pie Bites

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Apple pie bites are a simple treat recipe that requires barely any work. Enjoy a fresh spin on a tasty dessert recipe with these crescent roll apple pies.

    I love apple pie, well, any cooked apple recipe really. Unfortunately, my husband doesn't like cooked apples so it's normally just me and the kids eating whatever I whip up.

    This easy apple pie bites recipe is simple enough at the kids can make it! Even better is that it doesn't make too much. Perfect for a quick snack without leftovers! Apple pie crescent rolls are always a huge hit around here. Even my husband can't help but grab a few when they're fresh and warm.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    These mini apple pies with crescent rolls are great as is, but adding a powdered sugar drizzle over the top can be a great addition if you want them sweeter.

    I recommend keeping a pan lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for them to rest on as they bake because the sugar will leak out the sides and create a sticky mess. The less you have to clean or struggle to remove these from the pan, the better.

    💭 FAQs

    What can make these even better?

    Adding some chopped pecans or caramel chips inside before baking could be great! adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle of caramel sauce after they're done baking is also a great idea!

    What kind of crescent rolls should I use?

    You can use any kind, even the store brand unflavored options. A lot of great reviews come in from those that try a honey flavored variety of crescent rolls!

    🔪 Instructions

    Check out how to make apple pie bites with these simple step-by-step instructions:

    • Preheat your oven to 375F degrees. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
