When I think of fall, I think of a warm apple pie, just out of the oven, cooling by the window. Even though apple pie is one of my favorite fall treats, it is very time consuming to make. I am always on the lookout for new easy recipes, and when theblondcook.com introduced me to Apple Pie Bites, I was instantly hooked.
This dessert is easy to make, takes little time, and can be made with only a few ingredients. All you will need to make this delicious dessert for fall is 1 can of crescent rolls, 1 apple cut into wedges (theblondcook.com used Granny Smith but you can use your favorite kind of apple), 1 teaspoon of apple pie spice, 3 tablespoons of butter, ¼ cup of light brown sugar, and optional ⅓ cup of pecans.
The first step that you are going to have to do is put parchment paper on a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Next, combine the brown sugar and the apple pie spice, and set it to the side on the counter. After that is finished, melt the butter and cover the apple slices in them. Then arrange crescent rolls on the baking sheet and evenly distribute the brown sugar mix onto each crescent triangle. If you are using pecans, the next step is to sprinkle each crescent with them. Put one apple slice on the wide end of each crescent triangle and wrap the crescent roll around each apple slice. To finish it off, brush it lightly with the remaining butter and apple pie spice. Put it in the oven for 10 – 12 minutes and there you go. It is that simple.
This dessert is healthy, delicious, and the perfect way to kick off the fall season.
