Hi! My name is Chrissi. I live in Hoboken, home of the "Cake Boss" and the birthplace of baseball and Frank Sinatra. With my husband, infant son and extraordinary super-dog we are set to take over the world... of mommy blogging (Well, at least I'm trying...they are tagging along!) I love to bake and I share Sweet recipes I try every Sunday. I post every night (or at least I try to post every night!) around midnight. The only time, as a new mother, that I have to myself.

Sweet Tooth Sundays-Bite Sized Apple Pies a la Mode for Two

This weekend was an incredibly busy one. That's why I chose this recipe, because it said it only took 20-25 minutes! Yes-perfect for my hectic Sunday!

I halved this recipe, to make it perfect for a date night dessert for two.

Bite Sized Apple Pies a la Mode for Two
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
refrigerated pie crust (use just 1 crust)
3 tbsp. melted butter
1-2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
Caramel Sauce
Vanilla ice cream


Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.

Unroll 1 pie crust on a lightly floured cutting board. Brush crust with about half of the melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Cut into 6 strips vertically and one cut directly in the middle, horizontally (so you have 12 strips total). I figured I'd like my "apple pies" to be less crusty and more appley. I used a pizza cutter, which I think made it much easier to cut than a knife would.

Wrap each apple wedge in a strip of dough. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter and dust with the remaining cinnamon sugar. Bake for 13-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

Serve warm with ice cream and a drizzle of caramel.


These may have been my favorite Sweet Tooth Sunday yet!
