Caramel Apple Bites are the quintessential fall treat. The best of my favorite autumn treats, caramel apples and apple pie, they are much easier to make and perfect for bringing to parties and events.
Caramel Apple Bites with Brie are a quick apple tart recipe using puff pastry. The best mix between mini caramel apples and salted caramel apple pie!
What makes my Caramel Apple Bites different from the rest? Two things: the addition of rich, creamy brie and using puff pastry.
Make sure you PIN Caramel Apple Bites!
Brie is the perfect pairing with apples and fall flavors, making these not only mini caramel apple bites, but also bite-sized brie en croute, which happens to be one of my favorite “hostess with the mostess” dishes.
Puff Pastry Sheets are one of the items in my kitchen that I deem to be essential. I always have at least 2 packages in the freezer. They can be easily defrosted and are super verstile for appetizers, munchies, savory meals and desserts.
Just about any dish or small combination of flavors can be made into puff pastry pocket, tart or tartlet, instantly elevating it from ho-hum to extraordinary.
In my house, I never know when I’ll have guests, but I can add nearly anything to puff pastry and have a beautiful platter in no time at all.
Flaky puff pastry sheets add texture, flavor and visual pizazz, making any expertise level of home cook into a superstar.
And of course, Caramel Apple Bites are my favorite! They are easy to make, require just a few ingredients and can even be served room temperture or warm!
