These Easy Apple Pie Bites are perfect for a fun appetizer or quick and easy dessert. They’re perfect dipped into my Vegan Caramel Sauce!
Are you ever craving apple pie but don’t feel like making an entire pie from scratch? If so, these Easy Apple Pie Bites are just what you need! They taste just like apple pie but take much less time, and you can make as many or as few as you want.
We got snow here last weekend, and it’s been really cold. After living in the desert for the past five years, I am fully embracing the cold weather and really loving the snow!
Before, I kind of forced myself to make holiday recipes and baked goods, but it never really felt right when the weather was still warm. But this year, I’ve loved making all the holiday recipes and baked goods!
There’s just something about cold weather that makes you want to bake, and these Easy Apple Pie Bites are the perfect weekend baking project. 🙂
Apple Pie Bites Recipe Ingredients
- Apples – This recipe calls for 2–3 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into about eight slices each.
- Coconut oil – I used melted coconut oil; if you do not want the coconut flavor, use refined coconut oil, but otherwise, you can use unrefined.
- Coconut sugar – Brown sugar can be substituted if needed.
- Spices – I used cinnamon and salt.
- Corn starch – Arrowroot is also a great option.
- Almond milk – I used almond milk, but if you’re not making these vegan, you can use an egg wash.
- Raw sugar – 2 tablespoons raw sugar, for topping if desired
- Pie crust – In this recipe, I used my Perfect Coconut Oil Pie Crust, and it worked really well. But store-bought or homemade will work.
- Your favorite dip, ice cream, or whipped cream – I dipped them into my Easy Vegan Caramel Sauce because apple pie and caramel sauce combine perfectly! You could also enjoy these Easy Apple Pie Bites over ice cream or whipped cream.
How To Make These Delicious Apple Bites
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Add the coconut oil, sugar, cinnamon, and salt to a large bowl and mix until combined. Next, add the apple slices and stir until evenly coated.
- Roll out the pie crust to about 1/8-inch thick. Use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out the pie crust. Place one slice of apple in the middle of the pie crust and then carefully fold the dough around the apple until the dough in the middle of the apple is touching and pressed together.
- Place apple pie bites on a large baking sheet topped with a non-stick mat or parchment paper. Brush the top of each with almond milk and sprinkle with raw sugar.
- Bake apple pie bites until the pie crust is baked through and the apples are fork tender, 20-25 minutes.
Have you all figured out your holiday menus yet? Since it’s just my husband, myself, and our 2-year-old for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, I think we are going to go pretty low-key for Thanksgiving and then maybe do a little more for Christmas. But we are definitely going to have a full meal with dessert!
Easy Apple Pie Bites Recipe Tips
- You can use either homemade or store-bought pie crust for these. If making vegan, make sure to use a vegan pie crust.
- I enjoyed dipping mine into homemade caramel sauce, but you can also serve it with ice cream or whipped cream.
- I’ve loved using my non-stick baking mat this season, but you can also use parchment paper.
- I also like using a large baking sheet to bake them all simultaneously instead of in batches.

Can these be baked using an air fryer?
Possibly but I have never tried it myself so I can’t say for sure
