Snickerdoodle Apple Pie Bites are the perfect dessert to take to all of those holiday parties! With the snickerdoodle cookie mix they are SO easy to make!
Snickerdoodle Apple Pie Bites are my favorite fall treat plus I am loving the chance to work with Krusteaz and am having so much fun trying out new recipes with different Krusteaz products! Every summer I have a hard time getting motivated to cook, but having these awesome mixes makes it that much easier to provide yummy “homemade” treats for my family with minimal effort!
Summertime is the perfect time for Apple Pie, and I found a way to make this traditional treat easier and yummier too! Instead of making a traditional pie crust, I used the Krusteaz Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix as the base which is perfect for Apple Pie because of all of the cinnamon flavor involved. I took these little treats to a neighborhood party and everyone was dying to know how I made them – they were a big hit!
Snickerdoodle Apple Pie Bites
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Effort: Easy
Servings: 24
Ingredients:
- 1 package Krusteaz Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 can apple pie filling
- caramel ice cream topping
Instructions:
- Heat oven to 375º F. Prepare a mini muffin pan by spraying thoroughly with cooking spray.
- Stir together egg, butter and cookie mix until dough forms, hand kneading if necessary. Pour the cinnamon/sugar mixture from the cookie mix into a small bowl.
- Using a tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out the dough into 24 balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and then place each ball into the prepared mini muffin pan.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn slightly golden brown. Immediately after removing from the oven, make an indention in the top of each cookie by pressing the back of a tablespoon into each cookie cup. (If a tablespoon seems too big, try a 1/2 or 3/4 tablespoon size.)
- After cooling for 3-5 minutes, use a knife to gently pop out each cookie cup and then place on a wire rack to cool.
- Prepare apple pie filling by chopping up the apples in the filling into small pieces. Use a tablespoon sized cookie scoop to scoop the pie filling into each of the cookie cups. If desired, sprinkle some of the remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture on the top of the pie filling and top with a drizzle of caramel ice cream topping.

November 5, 2015 at 8:45 amI just made this for tonight’s bookclub. They are delicious. It was more like 1/2 hour prep all together. I used Betty Crocker Snickerdoodle cookie mix because my Target didn’t carry recommended brand (and my guests have no gluten allergy)

February 2, 2016 at 11:55 amThe recipe sounds delicious! Your product photo is a little misleading, though. It shows 1/4 cup of butter!
Jessica says
February 2, 2016 at 4:07 pm1/2 a cup of butter is equal to 1 stick of butter…it shows the correct amount stated in the recipe!
Camille says
February 25, 2016 at 10:39 amI’m making these for a party! Can I make them ahead and freeze them?
Jessica says
February 25, 2016 at 1:46 pmYou can certainly make the cookie cups ahead of time, but I’d wait to add the apple pie filling until the day you’re serving them. 🙂

November 23, 2017 at 4:48 amThis is making the rounds on Facebook and pintrest and I just made them for Thanksgiving.
Great job, so good and easy. My husband was so excited!

November 24, 2017 at 6:34 pmThese are so yummy but how do you store them? My cookies ended up being crumbly – still tasted good. Wanted to make these for Cookie Exchange but rethinking this .

April 24, 2019 at 11:10 amI made these for a bookclub meeting and office party. They were the hit of both events. I did not use the cookie mix in the recipe because I couldn’t find it in the store. I used the recipe for “Perfect Snickerdoodles”. This is a wonderful recipe for the apple bites.
