5 Ingredient Apple Pie Bites

Published: Updated:

5 ingredient apple pie bites

These simple 5 ingredient apple pie bites will be ready in under 20 minutes, including prep time. So if your short on time and need a fast sweet dish, this is perfect. A cinnamon sugar tender apple baked inside of a puffy dough topped with a caramelized cinnamon and sugar mix makes this a sweet treat that everybody who loves apple pie will love.

These apple pie bites remind me so much of apple pie, and I love apple pie! I almost thought about adding a slice of sharp cheddar cheese under the apples, because for some reason, call me strange, but I love the flavors of cheese and cooked apple together.  However, I refrained because I would have been the only one to have eaten them had I done that. Which come to think of it, wouldn't have been such a bad thing, I wouldn't have had to share. 🙂

This recipe is all over Pinterest, and I found this one that I adapted from The Blond Cook.  She uses pecans, but with a tree nut allergy, that is out of the question for us. So you can add chopped pecans to your apple mix that you fill the dough with. But, it still has an amazing flavor even without the pecans. So it's up to you.

Scroll down for a printable version.


What do you need?
1 apple, cored, sliced and cute into eight ½ inch slices (the recipe called for granny smith, but I used a red delicious and they turned out yummy)
1 can of crescent rolls (we used the Immaculate Baking brand which for us is allergy free)
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon apple pie spice (we used pumpkin pie spice, and an additional dash of cinnamon)
3 tablespoons butter

What do you do?
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar and spices, set aside.
Melt the butter and toss the apples in the melted butter.
Lay your crescent rolls on your paper lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle your brown sugar mixture evenly on each triangle. Leaving some for the tops.
Place an apple slice on the wide end of each crescent roll.
Roll the crescent roll with the apple up and brush the top with the remaining butter, from the butter the apples were in.
Sprinkle the tops with the remaining sugar.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

We love apple dishes that remind us of fall, not only do these fit the requirement, but so does our Caramel Apple Scones.

    I'm going to have to look into those Immaculate Brand crescents - the normal pillsbury ones in the store are full of too many unknowns for us to risk it! I've been searching for alternatives. These sound so delicious - I'm a huge lover of apple pie. And pecans? YUM!

      The Immaculate Brand also carries canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls! 🙂 They are all three delicious. These would be perfect with nuts, feel free to add them. Kelsie is allergic to we can't use them. Have a great weekend!

    These sound delicious! I have been looking forward to some apple treats. It won't be too much longer and the orchards will be open!

    • Joanna says

      I wished we had an orchard nearby. When we go to TN this fall, I may have to look one up!

      • Sherri says

        Too bad you don't live close to me,We have an orchard two miles away 🙁

        • Joanna says

          That would be amazing if we did live closer to an orchard! But I really want to go to one if apples are still in season when we go to Tennessee.

  3. Liz says

    YUM! These look amazing- especially with fall quickly approaching 🙂
