Creamy apple butter and sharp Cheddar cheese are a perfect match in these easy party hors d’oeuvres.

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.

3-Ingredient Cheddar & Apple Bites

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.

If you have time and enjoy making pastry, you canmake your own crust.
