Apple Pie Cookies combine the cozy flavors of classic apple pie with the convenience of a handheld cookie. Featuring buttery pie crust, spiced apple filling, and optional caramel or icing drizzle, they’re perfect for fall gatherings or holiday treats.

Ingredients

  • 2 refrigerated or homemade pie crusts
  • 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Caramel sauce or icing (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the apples with butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch until tender and thickened. Let the filling cool.
  4. Roll out the pie crust and use a round cutter to cut out cookie-sized circles.
  5. Place half of the rounds on the baking sheet. Spoon a small amount of the cooled apple filling onto each.
  6. Cut the remaining pie crust into lattice strips or rounds with slits and place over the filled bottoms. Press the edges to seal.
  7. Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden finish.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Let cool and drizzle with caramel or icing, if desired.

Notes

Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for texture.Use gluten-free pie crust and certified gluten-free cornstarch for a gluten-free version.Try a vanilla or cinnamon glaze instead of caramel.Make them smaller for bite-sized treats and reduce baking time slightly.Freeze before or after baking for longer storage.
