Apple Pie Bites

Ingredients

• 2 medium granny smith apples
• 2 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 2 9 inch pie crusts
• 1/4 cup butter (melted)
• 1 large egg (beaten)
• 2 tablespoon turbinado sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350F.

2. 2

   Core the apples and cut them each into 8 slices, about 1/2" thick. Mix the apple pie spice and brown sugar together in a small bowl.

3. 3

   Roll the pie crusts out to 1/8" thick. Using a 3" biscuit cutter or cookie cutter, punch 16 rounds from the pie crusts. Line the rounds on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

4. 4

   Place a slice of apple on each round, with the round side of the apple slice parallel to the round edge of the pie crust circle. Leave 1/4" space around the edge of the pie crust.

5. 5

   Sprinkle 1/2 tbsp of the brown sugar mixture over each apple slice, then drizzle with 1/2 tsp melted butter. Fold the pie crust over to create a half moon shape. Use a fork to press the edges together.

6. 6

   Brush the beaten egg over each apple pie bite, then sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar. Finish with a light sprinkle of apple pie spice.

7. 7

   Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Serve with caramel sauce.
