Easy Apple Pie Bites
These delicious bites combine the classic flavors of apple pie into a fun and portable shape. Perfectly sweet, with a hint of spice, they make for a great snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Optional: Caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir well to coat the apples evenly. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a glass, aiming for about 3 inches in diameter.
- Place a small spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each circle. Be careful not to overfill.
- Fold the crust over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative touch.
- Place the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the bites for a beautiful golden color as they bake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Once baked, allow the bites to cool slightly. If desired, drizzle with caramel sauce before serving for an extra treat!
These Easy Apple Pie Bites are not only delicious but also fun to make. They’re a great way to get the family involved, and everyone will love to taste the sweet and warm apple goodness. Enjoy your homemade treats!
