Old fashioned oats

Pumpkin puree

Pumpkin isn’t the only flavor of Fall. When we think of Fall and Thanksgiving, apple pie comes to mind! If you’re looking for an easy recipe with small portions to satisfy your kiddo’s sweet tooth, these caramel apple pie bites are just the thing. You’ll only need four ingredients:

Crescent roll dough

Caramel candies

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and prepare a non-stick baking sheet. Unroll your dough and separate the perforated triangles. Place a single caramel and spoonful of chopped apples on to each dough triangle. Next, roll each triangle and seal the edges to secure the contents. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar seasoning on each roll and bake for 12-15 minutes. For exact measurements, click here.

Cocoa powder

All-purpose flour (can also use oat or gluten-free flour)

Sugar (or a sweetener of your choice)

Baking powder

Salt

Olive oil
