Apple Pie Cookies
Servings: 4 Dozen
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated pie dough (pre-made or homemade)
- 5 apples, (I used 2 Granny Smith and 3 Honeycrisp)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Streusel Topping
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 pinch salt
- 14 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and spray a muffin tin (or up to 4 if you have them) with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cut the pie dough out into 2" rounds and put them into the wells of the prepared muffin tins.
- Peel and core the apples and chop into thin, small cubes (using an apple peeler for this makes this process a lot easier). Mix the chopped apples together with the sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and cornstarch.
- Cook the apples in a medium skillet on the cooktop for 5-10 minutes, until they've released their juices and become tender. Set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, sugar, oats and salt until well combined. Add in the melted butter and stir until it's well incorporated.
- Now start assembling your cookies! Put a tablespoon of apple filling into each well (you want a full, thin layer of apples) and top with a heaping tablespoon of streusel topping. Gently press the streusel down onto the apples.
- Bake the cookies for 17-20 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool in the muffin tin for at least 10 minutes before removing and allowing to cool completely.
