• Apples: 2 medium-sized apples (such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji) – These are the star of the show! Choose your favorite variety for sweetness and flavor. We prefer apples that hold their shape well during cooking.
• Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon – The quintessential spice for warmth and that classic apple pie flavor.
• Sugar: 2 tablespoons granulated sugar – Adds sweetness and helps to caramelize the apples. You can adjust the amount to your preference. Brown sugar can also be used for a richer, molasses-like flavor.
• Butter: 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted – Adds richness, flavor, and helps the cinnamon sugar mixture stick to the apples. You can substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
• Lemon Juice: 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice – Prevents the apples from browning and adds a touch of brightness to balance the sweetness.
• Flour Tortillas or Puff Pastry: 4-6 small flour tortillas or a sheet of puff pastry, thawed if frozen – These form the crispy and flaky crust for our apple bites. Tortillas offer a quicker and lighter option, while puff pastry provides extra richness and flakiness.
• Optional Glaze: Powdered sugar and milk or water – For a simple sweet glaze to drizzle over the finished bites, adding an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
