Apple Pie Bites
Pillsbury’s crescent rolls, in themselves, are an amazing snack and make for a great, bready side-dish with plenty of dinner entrées. What Pillsbury likely didn’t expect were all the recipes that found creative, new uses for their crescent roll dough. Whether served up or as an ingredient, I’ve struggled to find anyone who doesn’t enjoy the flakey, buttery goodness of a crescent roll.

How to prepare our Apple Pie Bites
Before getting started on this recipe, you might find it necessary to cut your apple pie filling down into smaller chunks. We want our filling to be comfortably stuffed into our dough later on. A quick, rough chop with a kitchen knife should do the trick.
Once you’ve got that filling taken care of, it’s time to get started. Turn your oven up to 375 degrees and allow to preheat while you get your bites ready. To make sure you can remove your bites from their tins down the line, spray your muffin pan down with cooking spray.
After cracking open your crescent roll dough, roll it out and separate it. You’ll take the triangles of dough and drop them into each of the cavities in the muffin pan.
From there, you’ll be adding your filling. It’ll probably come out to about a tablespoon of pie filling per pie bite. Though, no one’s going to complain if you add a little extra…
However much filling you add, you’ll be sealing your pie bites by folding the ends over top. Start with the two shorter ends of the dough that are sticking out and then fold the longer end over those two.
Now comes the baking: pop those pie bites into the pre-heated oven and allow to bake until they looked lightly-browned. Should take around 15 minutes. Once those finish baking, pull them from the oven, set them aside to cool, and prep a simple glaze using your milk and powdered sugar.
Drizzle your glaze over your pie bites once they have cooled down. With that, your pie bites are ready to eat. That wasn’t so hard, was it? Easy as pie!

Awesome taste, I forgot to stay cooking oil so it was sticking it would of tasted even better with cooking oil and not sticking.
Hi Jim! I am glad you gave this apple recipe a try. I am sure you found it quite simple to make. So very sorry that you forgot to spray oil on the pan first. It does keep the pastries from sticking. But, it’s great that you still enjoyed the flavor. Thanks much for your star rating and comment letting us know that you liked the recipe. It really helps other readers who are considering making the recipe. Have a great day and we hope you make these apple pie bites again. – Jen
