Bite-Size Easy Apple Pies

How about a tiny dessert that has some big flavor?  Well, these mini and easy apple pies are going to knock your socks off.  With only five ingredients, these apple wedges take about 30 minutes and will disappear in minutes.

Mouthwatering mini pies with apple styled on cooling rack with caramel sauceWith apple season comes apple recipes, right?  And these tiny simple apple pie bites will not disappoint.  They’re also great to have the kiddos help make.  Maybe a family night activity and snack will be on the calendar soon?

One of my all-time favorite apple desserts during the fall season is Apple Crisp.  Served with cool whip or vanilla ice cream, it’s truly an irresistible treat, especially if you like apples.  I remember this being a hit with the guys in college… they would actually ask if they could stop by our apartment for apple crisp.  HA!  My sister and I had a hard time saying no too.

However, with these bite-size apple pie treats being easy to make, delicious to eat and enjoyed by all — you simply can’t go wrong.  And adding a warm caramel sauce with sea salt as a garnish takes this snack to a whole new level.  Simply assemble, bake and watch them disappear.  Woosh…

What apples should I use?

A few apples that are at the top of the list for using in your apple pies and baking include, but are not limited to the  Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Jonagold, Golden Delicious, Jazz, Honey Crisp, McIntosh, and others.  What apple is your first choice for baking?

For these bite-sized pies, I used the granny smith.  Did you know it’s considered to be the most tart apple?  A perfect choice for apple pies, big or small.

Did someone say Halloween Mummies?

Yes, Halloween Mummies for the win.  Turn these apple bites into mummies by adding candy eyes with a little frosting as the glue.  Seriously, isn’t this the cutest Halloween snack idea?

How to make Bite-Size Apple Pies

Bite-Size Apples Wrapped in Pastry Crust on a Cooling RackTo stretch this recipe out a little more, I actually cute my apples into 16 wedges and the pastry into 1/2-inch strips.  They were just as good and having more of them for snacking was a win.  For the dipping sauce, I purchased Ghirardelli Sea Salt Caramel.  Oh. My. Gosh.  That took this deliciousness to a whole new level.
