Do you love desserts with crescent rolls ? Try this Apple Pie Bites made with crescent rolls, apples & pecans.
The summer is coming to an end, at least for this year, and I’m kind of sad about that. As if I could not catch it until the end and take advantage of all the pleasant things that it offers.
Orchard near our house is full of plums, grapes and apples and it always reminds me that autumn is on the way. In early September we return to our virtual places and begin the new season of autumn recipes. And then I always think of my favorite apples and pumpkins.
What distinguishes these rolls from the others is that besides pecans/walnuts and apples, there is a great taste of sugar and cinnamon. Very tasty!
If you want the same thing in a form that travels to a party without a plate, our Apple Crisp Bites bake in a mini muffin tin and give you twenty four of them from one pan.

Do you love desserts with crescent rolls ? I generally like them, with any stuffing. They are modest in terms of ingredients but very seductive by taste. I always fall for such combinations, because I am from those who pay attention to every ingredient, and although I love medley of colors and the width of taste, which certain foods provide, yet I find myself to be more impressed by streamlined forms ie. combinations of those “little of everything”.
Soooo, back to today sweet treat.
Looking for the muffin tin version instead? Apple Pie Cinnamon Roll Cups uses cinnamon roll dough pressed into a muffin tin and a diced apple filling, and it makes twelve cups rather than eight wrapped wedges.
Try it in one of the beautiful clear brisk fall days, or rainy and cold days that will follow, it is a winter cake as much as it is a fall cake and you will enjoy for sure!

I am so excited for apple season. These look delicious, I could definitely go for one now!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I do programming at a state park and wanted a simple dessert recipe for our dutch oven cooking event and this was a hit. I was able to give direction to kids and they could put the recipe together while I was instructing adults on the other dishes. The kids loved taking the lead on this and especially loved the results!
I like your ideas.They are simple and easy.

I used the flakey buttery crescent rolls for that extra buttery taste! They were easy and great!
Delicious! I ate 3 in one sitting.. The only thing I would do different next time would be to either slice the apples a little thinner or maybe cook the slices afor a couple minutes in a saucepan before rolling. Mine didn’t cook all the way through and I would have preferred then to be a little softer. That being said, it didn’t stop me from devouring them haha
Good tip..I’ll use that advice and precook my apples.making them tomorrow for the 1 st time!❤️
Super easy, a keeper
Made these today with my 2yo grandson. I let him chop the apples and left out the nuts. He even helped roll them up. They look like a 2yo made them but they smell delicious!
I saw this and made it. It was a hit! My family loved them..
Just made them today, they were a big hit & easy to make. Thanks for the recipe.
My husband is type 2 diabetic, do you know what the sugar is in this recipe
Just made them today, they were very easy to make & a big hit with my husband. I will make these again, I always have apples in my fridge.
Always looking for simple recipes that can be used to teach my, now, 4 year old granddaughter, how to cook.
We made ours right after we returned from apple picking. Simple, delicious and fun to make.
Very good recipe! I precooked my sliced honey crisp apple in the microwave for one minute only because I like my apples cooked soft. I also added pecans like the picture and they turned out delicious. Thanks for the recipe. I will make these again.
I unwrapped the crescent rolls and out them all flat into casserole dish then added all the ingredients plus raisins
and rolled out another layer of dough on top pricked top with a fork and sprinkled with cinnamon and brown sugar and backed like a pie. It came out between pie and strudel and everyone loved it!,
I made this and it turned out amazing, next time the only thing I’ll change is using big croissants so i can add more filling. I served this with vanilla ice cream. Such a hit!!!
It’s just me at home now so I like something I can have for my morning coffee. This was perfect. I Used apple pie filling I had canned a few years back and used that. It was swoon worthy!
This looks so good! What a great combination of flavors for fall!
Thanks for sharing! Does it keep long?
Made these this morning for a breakfast treat, they were very good. I will be making them again. I’m not a big cinnamon person cut the nuts made the difference.. thanks
very helpful i have made this for my kids and they liked them very much
