Ingredients

  • 1 Large Granny Smith Apple Peeled and Diced
  • 2 Medium Golden Delicious Apples Peeled and Diced
  • 1 Teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • 2 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • ¾ Cup of Dark Brown Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar Plus extra to top the bites when cooking
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ Teaspoon Nutmeg
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 6 Slices of Bacon Diced and Cooked
  • 2 Rolls of Store Bought Pie Crust Thawed if Frozen
  • 1 Large Egg + 1 Tablespoon Water Used for egg wash

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl peel and dice the apples. Add the lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir until all the apples are covered with the lemon juice and zest. Set aside.
  • In a medium pot add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, water and salt. Cook on medium high heat for about 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the diced apples and cook on medium low for 8-10 minutes. Or until the apples are tender.
  • Take about ¼ cup of the liquid in a separate bowl and add the cornstarch. Make sure the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
  • Pour the cornstarch mixture back into the medium pot on the stove. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Cool the apple pie filling while you are cut the crust and cook the bacon.
  • Cut the bacon slices into strips and cook on medium high heat until the bacon is nice and crispy. About 8-10 minutes. Put the cooked bacon on a plate lined with paper towel and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl whisk the egg and water. Set aside.
  • Unroll the pie crust and cut out about 8 circles. (See note)
  • Take one circle crust and fill about 1 teaspoon of the apple filling. Add ½ teaspoon of the bacon.
  • Brush the edges with the egg wash and fold the circle in half to create a half moon. Pinch the edges together to seal.
  • Using a fork crimp the edges. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Continue steps 11-13 until you have filled all of the bites you cut out.
  • Brush the bites with the egg wash and top with some extra sugar.
  • Bake for 10-13 minutes. Cool and Enjoy!

Notes

  • I used the lid of my empty jiffy peanut butter jar. I like the size and I didn’t have a big enough biscuit cutter. You can use any cutter to make these delicious treats.
  • These bites can be made any size and are even better the next day.
  • Store them in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
  • You can reheat them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds.
  • This recipe can easily with doubled if needed.
