APPLE PIE COOKIES INGREDIENTS

You will need:

• 1 package of refrigerated pie crust (2 rolls in a box), thawed per directions on the box
• 1 (21-ounce) can of apple pie filling
• ½ cup of salted caramel sauce
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon of water
• ¼ cup of sugar
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

PIE CRUST: This recipe starts with premade pie dough — although you could definitely make your own pie crust from scratch if you’d like. Check out our homemade pie crust recipe.

PIE FILLING: You could use any flavor of fruit pie filling in place of the apple filling for these mini pies.

HOW TO MAKE THIS APPLE PIE COOKIES RECIPE

STEP ONE: Place the apple pie filling onto a cutting board and cut the apples into smaller pieces. Set aside.

STEP TWO: Place a silicone baking sheet onto a cookie sheet. Roll out one sheet of pie crust onto the silicone sheet. A rolling pin can be used to lightly flatten out the dough if needed.

STEP THREE: Spread the salted caramel sauce from edge to edge on the pie crust dough. Top with the chopped apple pie filling and spread edge to edge. Set aside.

STEP FOUR: On a cutting board, roll out the second pie crust. A rolling pin can be used to lightly flatten out the dough if needed.

PRO TIP: I chose to do lattice tops for the top layer of pie crust. You can keep it simple and do a regular crust on top if you’d rather.

STEP FIVE: Using a pizza cutter and a ruler, slice the dough into ¼ inch strips (or eyeball it!). Using these strips, do a lattice crust on top of the apple pie filling crust. Or you can just lay some strips vertical and then horizontal if latticework is not your thing!

STEP SIX: Using a 2¾-inch round cookie cutter, cut out the cookies leaving a little space in between them. Remove the extra dough from around the cookies and just leave the cookies in place on the silicone baking sheet to bake.

PRO TIP: You can place all the leftover dough and pie filling into a small, greased pie pan and make a mini pie!

STEP SEVEN: Brush cookies with egg wash using a pastry brush. In a small bowl, mix cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg together and sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over the cookies.

STEP EIGHT: Place the cookie sheet into the oven and bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

PRO TIP: Drizzle a little bit of caramel on top before serving to complete this amazing goody.

HOW TO SERVE

These scrumptious cookies look like a masterpiece and would be a hit at a potluck or party. If you want to keep them to yourself, enjoy them for an afternoon or evening snack with a cup of tea or a latte. Our pumpkin spice latte would be a perfect choice for a snack full of fall flavors.

You might have seen these caramel apple pie cookies floating around Pinterest and thought they looked yummy but a little intimidating to make. I won’t lie — they are a little labor-intensive. But the results are so worth it. You’ll love the flavor. Bubbly, gooey, and warm fresh-baked from the oven, it’s hard to beat the sweet, luscious flavor. Just like traditional apple pie in a smaller size!
