Ingredients

1 pre-made pie crust

2 cups tart apples (Granny Smith), peeled and diced

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 egg + 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Prepare the Apple Mixture:

    • In a bowl, toss the diced Granny Smith apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.

  3. Cut the Pie Crust:

    • Roll out the pre-made pie crust and cut it into 3-inch squares using a knife or pizza cutter.

  4. Assemble the Bites:

    • Place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each dough square. Be careful not to overfill.

  5. Seal the Edges:

    • Fold each square over the apple filling to form a pocket, then press the edges together with a fork to seal.

  6. Brush with Egg Wash:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush each apple pie bite with the egg wash for a golden finish.

  7. Bake:

    • Arrange the sealed apple pie bites on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  8. Cool and Serve:

    • Let the apple pie bites cool slightly before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.

Notes

Add Caramel: Drizzle warm caramel sauce over the bites for an extra indulgent treat.

Mini Versions: Use smaller pie crusts to make even tinier bite-sized versions.

Spiced Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the apple mixture for a unique flavor twist.

Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free pie crust and substitute the egg wash with almond milk or soy milk.
