Here’s a simple way to make them homemade but easy:
Homemade Apple Sliders

2–3 Tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

Slice buns in half horizontally.
-
Optional: spread cream cheese on the bottom halves for a creamy layer.

Warm sliders in the oven 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes for a cozy, melty effect.

Tips & Variations
-
Mini apple pie version: sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top.
-
Savory twist: add a slice of sharp cheddar under the apples.
-
Make ahead: cook apples ahead and assemble just before serving.
-
Gluten-free: use GF slider buns or make mini biscuit bases.
These are basically bite-size apple pies that everyone can grab and devour—perfect for parties or cozy nights.
I can also give a cinnamon roll apple slider version that’s even sweeter and gooey if you want that twist. Do you want me to?
