Pinbuster: {Apple Pie Bites}

Apple Pie Bites
(Recipe found on Pinterest)

These were AMAZING!! I made a few (like 8) from one apple, and they were gone before my husband came home from work. My kids also had friends over who usually inhale anything I bake in an instant. (I swear, they have some sort of mama's in the kitchen radar)Easy apple pie bites

I wasn't sure if I should peel the apple or leave the skin on, as the recipe didn't specify. So I left them on...I liked the texture and color it added. Next time I'll try without so I can compare the taste, though. I also wondered if the apple would be hard and uncooked baking such a short time, but they were very soft and tender, the crust crispy and golden.

I served them warm with ice cream....2 little pies a piece was just a perfect size dessert. I made only half a batch as I wasn't sure how they would taste cold or reheated.

I still don't know...... as they were gone in a flash.

But my kitchen smelled great all day.... apples and cinnamon...making me wish I had made the full batch!
