You know when you bake an Apple Pie, or any fruit pie for that matter, and you get those oozy baked sugar, chewy-ish bits of leaked fruit that gets all caramelized to the crust? They’re kind of hard to explain..I think they need a name, I’m open to suggestions! 🙂
Watch them being made right >>HERE!
Anyway, that’s my absolute favorite part of a fruit pie! How great are those sticky little chewy bites..omgosh?! They’re warm, gooey bits of Pie Heaven and are my inspiration for these cookies. Gone are the days when I have to rudely pick away at a pie just to grab up those nuggets, my Mom will be proud..haha! 🙂
Now I can maintain a pretense of manners, since I have my very own caramelly, fruity, chewy & sticky Apple Pie Cookie all to myself!
These Apple Pie-like Cookies are made of real Pie Crust layered with sticky Caramel, and a slathering of Apple Pie Filling, topped with a flaky and adorable Cinnamon & Nutmeg lattice crust..HELLO Fall!
Each and every bite offers the very best part of an actual Apple Pie, with all of the convenience of a Cookie! NO fork required..woo-hoo!
Seriously the best cookie I’ve ever had!
To. Die. For. Delicious!
What you’ll need for 6-8 good sized Pie Cookies:
1 Box of frozen Pillsbury Pie Crust (2 sheets per box)
Approx. 1 Can of Apple Pie Filling (just enough for a thin layer)
Approx. 1 Cup of Caramel Sauce (just enough for a light coating)
1 Egg..for egg-wash
2 tbsp. Cinnamon/Sugar
1 tbsp. Nutmeg
Flour just for sprinkling
A round cookie cutter..any size you like
Directions:
Lay out a sheet of Pie Crust, sprinkle it with some flour and slightly roll it out, just to increase its surface area.
Pour some of the Caramel Sauce (Just enough to coat the crust) onto the crust and evenly spread it around, creating a thin layer of caramel…
Coarsely chop the Apple Pie Filling into small pieces…
Top the caramel layer with a layer of the chopped up Apple Pie Filling, making sure not to add too much pie filling…
Roll out the second sheet of Pie Crust the same size as the first sheet, and slice it into strips…
Create a lattice crust (just like on a pie) for the top of the pie filling…DON’T do what I did and create the lattice on the counter, it’s not fun getting it on top of the bottom crust..ugh! 😉 Create your lattice on top of the actual filling, as if it were a pie!
Dip your cookie cutter into some egg wash and cut out your Pie Cookies…
Brush the tops of them with some egg wash and sprinkle them with the Cinnamon Sugar and Nutmeg..
Place them onto a baking sheet and bake them at 350 degrees for approx. 20-25 minutes, until they’re golden and firm. Let them cool just a little..
Pour a glass of cold Milk and grab a warm one, or 5…
Open up and bite into the juiciest, chewiest, fruitiest Apple Pie Cookie ever…
And then take another bite! ~Enjoy! 🙂
Gonna have to try this, I love Apple Pie, so i know I will love these Apple Pie cookies. Thanks a million for the recipe. 🙂 <3
These look like something i would have to try at least once,they do look good.
have to check them out one day.
how to make caramel sauce???
great page but could you put the the recipe and directions all together at the bottom so it would be easy to copy and print thnak you keep’em coming
Absolutely! The revised site (coming soon) will be much more user friendly! 🙂
You are amazingly creative for coming up w/this recipe. It is such a pretty cookie to look at I’d hate to bite into it! However, the aroma would probably convince me to go for it!
I like the idea of a square cookie for the tidiness of it, but round looks mighty good. I think the remainders, not scraps, are for the cook! : )) Let’s think of them as tip for a job well done!
Thank you for sharing this delightful recipe. ^___^
try baking it in a 9×9 pan,cutting it in squares (no waste). Lazy persons way. LOL
I would never get thru the lattice top. Thought I would lay bottom down. Add Carmel and apple filling add the top crust, seal two together, prick the top crust and cook in large pizza stone or baking sheet. Cut into pieces when done.
Awesome idea! 🙂
I am going to try this using raspberry filing..
I don’t think we can get the pie crust your using in England, I’ve never seen it before, anyone know what the equivalent would be? Thanks in advance, I was brought up on apple pie and can’t wait to give this a go!
Just google a simple from scratch pie crust. 🙂
I’ve made them using a just roll puff pastry rolled really thin, they were delicious! Thank you for this amazing creation, going to try them with strawberry next! X
I live in Ireland had the same problem…..used tesco own brand shortcrust pastry in the fridge instead. Hope thats a help. I was lazy and used lemon curd tesco own brand again instead of the carmel. Still turned out delicious
Now this looks delish! I must try these and share with my brunch club friends.
I made these today! My kids took them as teacher appreciation gifts with little apple cards they made that said “If teachers were apples,I’d pick you!” They were a big hit. Soooo yummy! Making another batch this evening for my husband 🙂
Yay! 🙂
I like apple pie so I will be trying this cookie out oh yummy yum for my tummy tum
You are a cookie Genius! Thanks for sharing. Can hardly wait to try these:)
Totally freaking awesome idea. Only thing I would change is the cookie cutter. I would make them square. That way, you could roll the crust into a square/rectangle, and cut with a knife, not wasting any extra cookie, like how I make tea biscuits. Who says cookies can’t be square?
Great idea Amy 🙂
Wish there was a gluten free recipe for this. My mouth is watering, just looking at the pictures.
Me too!
I’m going to search for GF pie crust on Pinterest… I know I’ve seen a few… There is always a way I say… lol
Pillsbury now makes Gluten Free pie crusts 🙂
I’m going to make the for my next group meeting. I wonder if it works with peaches.
I just made these cookies ,so very easy and very yummy thanks for the recipe looking forward to receiving more.
Can you do a peach recipe?
Yes..yum! 🙂
Just made these… Though I haven’t made a lattice in years I think these came out looking great.. They’re in the oven now but they look scrumptious!!
