Ingredients
  

3 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

1 pound of puff pastry (2 sheets)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare Apples: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples with lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Stir well to coat the apples evenly and set aside.

      Make the Crisp Mixture: In another bowl, mix together rolled oats, remaining brown sugar, flour, melted butter, salt, chopped nuts, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is crumbly and combined.

        Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into squares (around 3 inches by 3 inches).

          Assemble the Bites: Place about a tablespoon of the apple mixture into the center of each pastry square. Top the apple filling with a generous tablespoon of the crisp mixture.

            Seal the Bites: Carefully fold and seal the edges of the pastry to create a pocket. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

              Add Sugar Topping: (Optional) For extra sweetness and crunch, sprinkle some granulated sugar on top of each pastry bite.

                Bake: Arrange the assembled Apple Crisp Bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.

                  Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
