Apple Pie Pops With Apple Cider Glaze

Pumpkin may be the reigning star of the autumn baking scene, but there’s another equally delicious fruit in season right now – Apples! Sure, they aren’t as versatile as pumpkin (you’re never going to see an “apple spiced latte” at Starbucks), but they are the perfect ingredient for cakes, muffins, and now pie pops! Treat your family or party guests to these Apple Pie Pops With Apple Cider Glaze!

The apple orchards are packed with sweet and juicy apples this time of year. Our family loves all kinds of apples, but the Honeycrisp is our favorite! They are mildly sweet with just a hint of tartness, and have a firm texture that holds up well in apple pie filling. My 2-year-old even managed to sneak one while I was baking, little rascal!

These bite-sized Apple Pie Pops are perfect for any fall festivity. They’re small enough for kiddos to have a sweet treat without going into sugar overdrive. Another bonus is that they’re portable, making them ideal for bake sales, parties, and play dates. (Plus, aren’t they adorable all dolled up with that little red bow?)

The idea for these Apple Pie Pops came to me last summer when I made a delicious coconut oil pie crust. I knew that with the addition of a few fall inspired spices, this crust would make the perfect apple pie. The tricky part was patiently waiting for apple season to arrive. Thank goodness it did, and not a moment too soon!
