Delightfully simple and bite-sized, these Easy Apple Pie Bites combine tender apple slices with a fragrant cinnamon and coconut sugar coating, wrapped in a flaky pie crust. Perfectly baked to golden perfection, they make a wonderful snack or dessert served warm with your favorite dip, ice cream, or whipped cream.

Ingredients

Apple Filling

  • 2-3 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into about 8 slices each
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch or arrowroot
  • 1 pinch salt

Crust and Topping

  • 1 double pie crust, store-bought or homemade (Perfect Coconut Oil Pie Crust recommended)
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or egg wash if not making vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons raw sugar, for topping if desired

Serving

  • Your favorite dip, ice cream, or whipped cream (Easy Vegan Caramel Sauce recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Apples: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt, mixing until well blended. Add the apple slices and toss until every slice is evenly coated with the mixture.
  2. Cut and Assemble Pie Bites: Roll out your pie crust to about 1/8 inch thickness. Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles of dough. Place one coated apple slice in the center of each dough circle, then carefully fold the dough around the apple so the edges meet in the middle, pressing them together to seal the pie bite.
  3. Prepare for Baking: Arrange the assembled apple pie bites on a large baking sheet lined with a non-stick mat or parchment paper. Brush the tops of each bite with almond milk (or egg wash for non-vegan versions) and sprinkle with raw sugar to add a crunchy sweetness.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is fully baked and golden brown, and the apples inside are tender enough to be pierced easily with a fork.
  5. Serve Warm: For the best taste, serve the apple pie bites warm alongside your preferred dip, ice cream, or whipped cream. The Easy Vegan Caramel Sauce pairs beautifully for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Use either cornstarch or arrowroot as a thickening agent for the apple filling to prevent sogginess.
  • If you are not vegan, substitute almond milk with egg wash for a glossy crust.
  • Ensure the pie crust is rolled evenly to about 1/8 inch for perfect baking.
  • Raw sugar topping adds crunch and a subtle caramelized flavor during baking but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently for best texture.
