Apple Pie Cookies

October 1, 2013 By Francois

Fall is here, and it only means one thing: it’s Pie Season!!! Apple pie, pecan pie, pumpkin pie. I love them all. If you’ve been following SweetExplorations, you know that, back in July, I came up with a concept for lattice pie cookies (check them out here if you haven’t already). Since you guys loved them as much as I did, I could not wait to make new versions. Today is apple pie! I love these apple pie cookies and they’re really easy to make so I hope you’ll love them too. Here is how to make them:

  • ½ cup apple butter
Instructions
  1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until light in color and fluffy in texture. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Add all the flour and mix on low speed until the dough comes together.
  2. Roll out your dough between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. In the meantime, preheat your oven to 350°F.

Let’s start by making our cookies.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until light in color and fluffy in texture. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Add all the flour and mix on low speed until the dough comes together. Roll out your dough between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. In the meantime, preheat your oven to 350°F:

To shape the cookies, I am using a fluted circle cutter. Start by cutting your cookies:

Spoon about 2 tsp of apple butter on a cookie:

Cover with another cookie and use the backside of your cookie cutter to seal the 2 cookies together:

Don’t be afraid to press. You really need to seal the edges together. Then, using the flat end of a wooden skewer, press along the edge to add a crimped crust design:

Finally, poke a couple of holes with the tip of a pairing knife:

Bake for 12 minutes and you’re done!

Enjoy!!!

      Hi Maria,

    You sure did make that look easy… I might even try them and I have a crazy fear of all things pie crust! This might be a good little transition step over 🙂

    These are beautiful. I’d love to try one (and I don’t even like apple pie)!

    Those are to cute!!
    Such a great idea to make apple pie but in cookie style 🙂
    And with apples being right and season and around 10 kg fresh picked ones in our house I’m gathering recipes right now.

    As these seem quite easy to prepare and safe/clean to eat I think I’ll try them out for our next get-together with friends!

    Thanks for the inspiration!
