Holiday Pie Bites: Chocolate Raspberry Pie & Apple Pie
Ahhhhhhhh, the holidays. So much fun. So much baking. So many parties. So many cute Pinterest ideas. So much shopping. So much stress. I guess you could say I have a love/hate relationship with the holiday season. So, I have set out to make your holiday party a little easier, a little healthier, and a lot more fun with these mini pie bites -----> If you've spent much time on my blog, you know I'm not much of a dessert person. In fact, I went almost six months without any sweets, even swapping birthday cake for fruit and yogurt. I don't have cookie or cake recipes. (The only cookies I ever tried baking turned into glorified dog treats.) But, I have officially perfected the mini-pie bite, sweetened with only fruit, Greek yogurt, and a bit of agave nectar.
Introducing Chocolate Raspberry Pie Bites:
What can I say? These are just beautiful, and mouthwateringly delicious, decadent, and not that bad for you at only 72 calories each. And did I mention beautiful?
And festive to boot, perfect for your holiday party.
Or maybe you prefer something warm, like hot apple pie.
Introducing Apple Pie Bites
Enjoy this warm, melt-in-your-mouth goodness without the guilt. Serve alone or alongside vanilla bean ice cream. Your party guests will thank you either way!
They are super fancy looking, yet simple to make. It'll be our little secret. :)
