Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice (plus about ¼ teaspoon for sprinkling)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ⅓ cup chopped pecans
- 1 small Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced into 8 (½-inch) slices
- 1 (8-ounce) tube Pillsbury Original crescent rolls
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. - Prepare Brown Sugar Mixture:
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of apple pie spice. Stir to combine and set aside. - Coat Apple Slices:
Melt the butter in a small dish. Toss the apple slices in the melted butter to coat evenly, then set them aside. - Prepare Crescent Rolls:
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Arrange the triangles on the prepared baking sheet. - Assemble the Bites:
Sprinkle the brown sugar and apple pie spice mixture evenly over each crescent roll triangle. Top with chopped pecans. Place one apple slice on the wide end of each triangle and roll up the dough around the apple. - Brush and Sprinkle:
Brush the wrapped apple bites with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle lightly with additional apple pie spice for extra flavor. - Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the apple slices are tender. - Serve:
Allow the apple pie bites to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzled with caramel syrup.
Notes
- These apple pie bites are delightful when served warm with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel syrup.
- If you prefer a different nut, you can substitute the pecans with walnuts or almonds.
- You can also add a dash of cinnamon to the melted butter for an extra layer of flavor.
- If you don’t have apple pie spice, you can make your own by combining cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of ginger.
