Tips to Make Delicious Apple Pie Bites

Use Granny Smith apples for a nice tart flavor that balances well with the sweetness.
For a touch of extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the apple mixture.
Ensure you properly seal the edges of the crescent rolls to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.

Variation

Feel free to substitute the pecans with walnuts or omit them altogether for a nut-free version. You can also add raisins or cranberries to the apple filling for a fruity twist.
