Apple Pie Bites

Years ago, when I was in school, they taught home economics. I’m not sure it’s still around. The intention was for the students to learn many everyday things, from balancing a checkbook register to cooking and even sewing. I turned out to be terrible with checkbooks and so-so at sewing, but my love for cooking grew.

You know by following me that I don’t do fancy. Simple, homemade goodness is what I enjoy most. I liked getting the kids involved in cooking when they were younger, and they are both excellent cooks now.

Have the kiddos help with these for a quick home economics lesson of your own. This recipe comes together very quickly with only a few ingredients. They make a great breakfast treat or a quick dessert with a scoop of ice cream.

Author Amye Melton

Ingredients

• 1 8-ounce can refrigerated Original Crescent Rolls
• 1 large apple peeled, cored and cut into 8 wedges (I like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
• 3 tablespoons butter melted
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
• granulated sugar

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
• Melt butter in microwave. Add the apple wedges to the butter and toss.
• In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon and apple pie spice.
• Open the can of crescent rolls and unroll each triangle. Brush melted butter over one side of the triangle. Evenly sprinkle the triangle with a slightly rounded teaspoon of the sugar mixture. Place an apple wedge on the widest side of the triangle and roll up. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Take any remaining butter and brush the tops of rolls. Sprinkle with a bit of granulated sugar and bake for 9 to 12 minutes or until golden.
• Serve warm. Great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
