Crescent Pie Bites Recipe Details:

• Preparation time: 15 minutes
• Cooking time: 10-12 minutes
• Servings: 8 pie bites
• Equipment: Baking sheet, parchment paper, mixing bowls, whisk

These pie bites are more than just a dessert – they're a culinary adventure that transforms simple ingredients into delectable bite-sized treats.

Ingredients:

For the Pie Bites:

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 cup pie filling of your choice (apple, cherry, blueberry, or peach)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking. This step ensures easy cleanup and prevents burning.
2. Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. You should have 8 triangles to work with. Take your time to ensure each triangle is evenly separated.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle a little of this mixture over each triangle of dough. This adds a delightful sweet and spicy touch to your pie bites.
4. Place about 1 tablespoon of your chosen pie filling near the wide end of each triangle. For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a few chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips on top of the filling.
5. Starting at the wide end, carefully roll up each triangle, tucking in the sides as you go to keep the filling from spilling out. Gently pinch the seams to seal them completely.
6. Arrange the crescent pie bites on your prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top for a sweet, crunchy finish.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crescent dough turns a beautiful golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent over-baking.
8. While the bites are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
9. Once baked, remove the pie bites from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This helps them set and makes handling easier.
10. Drizzle the glaze over the warm pie bites using a spoon or fork. The glaze adds a sweet, finishing touch that takes these bites to the next level.

Storage Solutions:

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days
• Reheat in the oven at 300°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispiness
• Can be frozen for up to 1 month
• Thaw at room temperature and warm slightly before serving
• Best enjoyed warm, but equally delicious at room temperature

Whether you're looking for a quick dessert or a special treat, these Crescent Pie Bites are guaranteed to impress. Simple, elegant, and utterly irresistible, they're the perfect bite-sized pastry that combines flaky dough with sweet, fruity filling.
