I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I am so inspired by fall flavors! Apples, squash, pumpkin, sweet potato… the list goes on. I’ll never tire of creating new fall recipes! 

I love apple pie and apple crisp but sometimes I just want a quick snack that doesn’t take much effort. Enter: apple pie bites. These apple pie bites are ready in 20 minutes and made with just a few key ingredients! The only kitchen appliance you need is a food processor. Let’s get to it!

They’re perfect for breakfast, snack or dessert – both at home and for on-the-go snacking.

      I typically purchase them rather than make them.

    This is a great recipe! I have made it as written and then recently swapped out the apples for dried mango and molded them into little cups which I then filled with marscapone cheese and topped with fresh berries and kiwi. Yum!

    I made these last night for my snacks for the week. It only ended up making 15 small balls but they are quite tasty! I enjoy the fall flavors of them. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

    Ah these look delicious! Is there anyway that you can make these without a food processor or blender? Could you use a hand mixer?? Probably not… Poor College kid problems… Thanks for the recipe though!!

    Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues
    with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due
    to no back up. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?

    I had to add 2T water to get the mixture to stick together, but then they were great! Thanks.

    So I have a confession….. Other than hanging with family and getting an extra day off, Thanksgiving isn’t a big deal for me. At least not when it comes to the food. I’ll take the mashed potatoes and I do mean all the potatoes, and everybody else can have the rest. Maybe we should swap Thanksgivings.
