Apple Pie Cookies Ingredients
You will need:
1 package of refrigerated pie crust (2 rolls in a box), thawed per directions on the box 1 (21-ounce) can of apple pie filling ½ cup of salted caramel sauce 1 egg, beaten 1 teaspoon of water ¼ cup of sugar ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg Substitutions and aDDITIONS
Pie Crust: This recipe starts with premade pie dough — although you could definitely make your pie crust from scratch if you’d like. Check out our homemade pie crust recipe.
How to Make THIS Apple Pie Cookies RECIPE
STEP ONE: Place the apple pie filling onto a cutting board and cut the apples into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

STEP TWO: Place a silicone baking sheet onto a cookie sheet. Roll out one of the pie crusts onto the silicone sheet. A rolling pin can be used to lightly flatten out the dough if needed.

STEP THREE: Spread the salted caramel sauce from edge to edge on the pie crust dough. Top with the chopped apple pie filling and spread edge to edge. Set aside.

STEP FOUR: On a cutting board, roll out the second piece of pie crust. A rolling pin can be used to lightly flatten out the dough if needed.

PRO TIP: I chose to do a lattice crust for the top layer of pie crust. You can keep it simple and do a regular crust on top if you’d rather.

STEP FIVE: Using a pizza cutter and a ruler, slice the dough into ¼ inch strips (or eyeball it!). Using these strips, do a lattice crust on top of the apple pie filling crust. Or you can just lay some strips vertical and then horizontal if latticework is not your thing!

STEP SIX: Using a 2 ¾” circle cutter, cut out the cookies leaving a little space in between them. Remove the extra dough from around the cookies and just leave the cookies in place on the silicone baking sheet to bake.

PRO TIP: You can place all the extra dough and pie filling into a small, greased pie pan and make a mini pie!

STEP SEVEN: Brush cookies with egg wash. Mix cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg together and sprinkle on over the cookies.

STEP EIGHT: Place the cookie sheet into the oven and bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

PRO TIP: A drizzle of caramel on top before serving complete this amazing goody.
