Why You’ll Love This Quick Apple Pie Bites Recipe

These pie bites are ready in under 30 minutes and require minimal prep, but they taste like something your grandma would proudly serve on a crisp October day. The soft, warm apples tucked into buttery crescent dough deliver comfort in every bite. Perfect for lunchboxes, party platters, or midnight snacks.

No need for fancy baking tools or pie-making skills. You can even get the kids involved in rolling them up. They’re that easy, and that delicious.

Can I Use Other Types of Apples?

Absolutely! While tart apples like Granny Smith work beautifully in this recipe because they balance out the sweet sugar and cinnamon mix, you can also use Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala apples if you want a slightly sweeter and softer bite. Just be mindful of the apple’s water content; if it’s a juicier variety, you might want to pat the slices dry before wrapping them.

Ingredients for the Quick Apple Pie Bites

When you’re whipping up Quick Apple Pie Bites, it’s all about keeping things simple without sacrificing flavor. These few ingredients come together for a dessert that’s equal parts cozy and convenient.

• Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• Apple slices (peeled and cored)
• Ground cinnamon
• Brown sugar
• Melted butter
• Vanilla extract (optional, but adds a lovely warmth)
• Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional for a bit of crunch)

The crescent dough is your golden, flaky base. The apple slices are the heart of the bite. Cinnamon and sugar bring the warmth and sweetness, while melted butter binds it all together. Vanilla adds depth, and nuts give that satisfying crunch if you choose to use them.

How To Make the Quick Apple Pie Bites

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel and slice your apples into wedges, about 8 slices per apple. Melt your butter and mix it with cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.

Step 2: Assemble the Bites

Unroll the crescent dough triangles onto the baking sheet. Place one apple slice at the wide end of each triangle. Spoon a bit of the buttery cinnamon mixture on top, then roll the dough around the apple until it’s completely wrapped.

Step 3: Add Final Touches

Brush the tops with extra cinnamon butter mixture and sprinkle chopped nuts if using. This adds a glossy finish and a little crunch.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crescents are golden brown and crisp. Let them cool slightly before serving, though they’re best enjoyed warm.

How to Serve and Store These Pie Bites

Quick Apple Pie Bites are best served warm from the oven when the crescent dough is flaky and the apples are soft and steamy. They’re delicious on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you’re feeling indulgent.

These bites will feed about 8 people if each has 2. Perfect for a family dessert or a sweet tray for a casual gathering.

To store, let them cool completely and place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to 5 days and reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
