Delightful and easy-to-make Apple Pie Bites featuring jumbo biscuit dough filled with sweet apple pie filling, air-fried to golden perfection and coated in cinnamon sugar for a crispy, flavorful treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 can jumbo biscuits (five count)

Filling

  • 3/4 cup apple pie filling (apple cuts into small pieces)

Topping

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Put the apple pie filling in a bowl and use a knife to slice through the apples to make the pieces smaller, ensuring easy filling and even cooking.
  2. Divide the dough: Separate each biscuit into two parts to create the dough pieces for the bites.
  3. Shape the dough: Roll each piece of dough into a ball, then flatten them to about 1/4 inch thickness to form a small dough circle ready for filling.
  4. Fill the bites: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the apple filling into the center of each dough circle, taking care not to overfill.
  5. Seal the bites: Pinch the dough edges together around the filling to enclose it fully, repeating for all the dough pieces.
  6. Prepare the air fryer: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or line the bottom with parchment paper; place the assembled bites with about 1 inch spacing between each to ensure even cooking.
  7. Air fry: Cook the apple pie bites at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Mix topping sugar: While the bites cook, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, setting it aside for coating later.
  9. Melt butter: Melt the butter in a separate bowl and set it aside for dipping the cooked bites.
  10. Cool slightly: Remove the apple bites from the air fryer once golden brown and let them cool for a few minutes to handle safely.
  11. Dip and coat: Dip each warm apple bite into the melted butter, then roll it thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  12. Final cooling: Place the coated apple pie bites on a wire rack to cool further before serving, allowing the topping to set.

Notes

  • Cut large apple pieces in the pie filling smaller for better bite size and easier rolling.
  • Use parchment paper in the air fryer to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  • Make sure the dough is sealed well around the filling to avoid leaks during cooking.
  • Serve these bites warm for the best flavor and texture.
