3-INGREDIENT CHEDDAR & APPLE BITES



3-Ingredient Cheddar & Apple Bites image

Creamy apple butter and sharp Cheddar cheese are a perfect match in these easy party hors d'oeuvres. This recipe calls for prepared pie crust, which is pressed into mini muffin tins to make little tart shells, so it's super easy to make as well. Add slices of apple for extra crunch, if you'd like, or keep these bites simple. Either way, consider making a double batch--they'll go quickly.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 refrigerated pie crust (1/2 of a 14-ounce package; see Tip)
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup apple butter
24 thin slices apple, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Unroll pie crust onto a clean surface. Roll the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Cut 24 2-inch circles out of the dough with a biscuit cutter, rerolling the scraps if needed. Place the dough circles in the prepared muffin cups, gently pressing the dough into the bottom and sides. Prick the dough with a fork. Bake until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add 1 teaspoon cheese to each cup, then top with 1/4 teaspoon apple butter. Bake until the cheese has melted, 3 to 5 minutes more. Let cool for 10 minutes. Top each bite with a few apple pieces, if desired.
