Apple Pie Bites
Just the right size dessert for a party
Try these Apple Pie Bites for a warm apple appetizer. Using refrigerator biscuit dough takes most of the work out of these delicious desserts.
Using green Granny Smith apples in this recipe adds a nice tart flavor that offsets the sugar in the recipe. That's the kind of apple we use when baking apple pies.
We make these for parties and sometimes just for ourselves on a night when we are craving something sweet but don't have a lot of time to make cookies or bake a cake.
For a flakier crust, you can use the frozen pie crust that comes in a roll. The stores usually have it in the same place you find the ready made pie crust formed in pie tins.
