I’ve been in the mood for apple pie lately. But since making pies is rather daunting, I was wondering if all that great taste could somehow be put into a smaller package, like a cookie. John at Preppy Kitchen did just that and his step-by-step instructions with photos make it easy and fun. The result is a delicious pie-cookie hybrid, with a tart apple filling wrapped in a flaky, buttery crust full of cinnamon, allspice and ginger.

I highly recommend watching John’s video on how to make these cookies. (Scroll down to the bottom of his post.) He’s so engaging that you won’t be able to resist putting on your apron and joining him in making a batch of Apple Pie Cookies. Believe me, everyone you share these with will thank you for it!

Lattice Top or Hand Pie?
Both...no doubt about it.

This recipe makes a lot of filling...enough for several batches of cookies. (I had to double the dough recipe, though.) I made the first batch with lattice tops and a second batch using the hand pie method. Neither batch lasted very long!

 

Cookie specifics

What I’ve learned...

These cookies were made with the best ingredients I could find: European butter for the caramel and the crust and Honey Crisp apples for the filling. And I used all the spices that John listed in the dough, not just the cinnamon. The crust could definitely be doubled if you want 2 dozen cookies. And there’s plenty of filling to make 4 (or more!) dozen cookies, but it’s so delicious that you may want to put it on other things, like pancakes or English muffins. It could also be put into small jars and given as gifts. Yes, it’s that good.
