Homemade Apple Pie Cookies Recipe

butter* (room temperature)*

flour

vanilla

salt

apples (cored, peeled and diced small)

butter

brown sugar (packed)

Making it by hand - In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Make a well in the middle and add the butter, egg and vanilla. Mix with a fork until almost combined, move to a lightly floured flat surface and gently knead just until the dough is well combined and soft, don&#39;t over knead. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for at 30 minutes or up to 3 days.

Making it with a food processor or mixer - In the food processor/mixer add the butter and sugar pulse to combine or mix with the flat beater a few times, add the egg and vanilla, combine until smooth, add the flour mixture pulse/beat a few times until almost combined. Move to a lightly floured flat surface and gently knead until the dough is well combined and soft (this won&#39;t take long). Wrap in plastic or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

FOR THE COOKIE DOUGH

While the dough is in the fridge prepare the filling, in a medium pot add butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and diced apples, mix together and cook on low to medium heat for 5 minutes, cover and cook for another 5 minutes,, stirring the mixture occasionally and watch that it doesn’t burn, gently squish with a fork, leaving the diced apples slightly chunky rather than mushy. If the apples are not tender and the mixture hasn&#39;t thickened, continue to cook on low for another 5 minutes uncovered, until the apples are soft and tender. Remove from heat and let cool completely. If you find the mixture too thick then you can add a tablespoon or 2 of maple syrup to thin it.

Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Line one or two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Remove the dough from the fridge and roll dough out on a floured flat surface to 1/8 inch / 2 mm (or a little thicker if you prefer) cut with a round cookie cutter approximately 28 circles (2 1/4 inch / 6 cm size), place 14 circles on the prepared cookie sheet, place a heaping teaspoon of apple filling on each circle, gently spread the filling, be sure not to go over the edge, cover with another circle and close the edges with a fork, I lightly wet my fingers and closed the edges, wetting the edges helps to keep the cookies closed while baking. Brush with a little milk and then sprinkle with some cinnamon sugar, bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven, let cool 5-10 minutes on the cookie sheet then move to a wire rack to cool completely or eat warm. Enjoy!

FOR THE APPLE FILLING

In a small bowl mixture together the sugar and ground cinnamon.

The perfect little three bite dessert with a flakey pie crust, cinnamon apple filling, and a sweet buttery crumb topping!

Dutch Apple Pie Cookies

Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced finely

cornstarch

old fashioned oats

(14 tablespoons total) butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray the wells of a standard size muffin tin with nonstick spray. Roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and cut out circles about 2 inches in diameter. Gather and re-roll unused dough and cut additional circles. I used the rim of a small plastic cup. Place the circles in the bottom of each muffin well.

Add the apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch to a medium saucepan. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 5-10 minutes until the apples have softened slightly and the juices begin to thicken. Remove from heat.

Add about one tablespoon of the apple filling on top of each circle of pie dough.

In a medium bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, oats, and salt. Add melted butter and mix until well incorporated.

Add a heaping tablespoon of the streusel topping to each muffin well, and gently pat it down over the apples.

Bake for 17-19 minutes. **Allow the apple pie cookies to cool in the muffin tin for at least 10-15 minutes before removing.** I like to use a dull knife to gently remove them from the tin. Cool on a wire rack.

Made these last Holiday! Received so many compliments! Making them again this year!

Just made these, so yummy. Do they need to be stored in the refrigerator?

Just finished making these with a few minor tweaks after reading reviews...  I used 1/4 cup more flour in crumble to absorb any extra moisture from apples. I used a round cutter slightly larger than the pan and pushed it to the sides slightly and finally i used a teaspoon to measure out crumbs.  First two tsp i packed down and 3rd i sprinkled to maintain the crumble effect. Baked &amp; cooled exactly as the times stated and they came out EXACTLY like the picture.  For the people who are having them fall apart or saying this recipe is a fail  you kind of have to eye your doughs and see if they're too wet or too dry. All kitchens are different!

Made them turned out yummy.  But next time I think I'll use less apple mix in each one.

These were delish. I infused the diced apples with a cup of bourbon for a few hours prior to cooking.

I had a pie crust left over from Thanksgiving.  I used that a can of pie crust filling.  I chopped the filling so the pieces were smaller like yours.  I halved the streusel topping and it was the perfect about to make 20 tarts.  I baked about 25 minutes and let them sit that long in the tray.  They were very fragile but I expected as much since my pie crust is very delicate.  Im so thrilled these came out!

Amazing  recipe . I have made this recipe a half dozen times and they come out perfectly each time.  Very easy to make and so good. After they have cooled and it is time to “ taste test” everyone one has 2-3 right away.  Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Tender, moist, sweet almond flour apple pie cookies are the perfect healthy fall treat. They’re loaded with moreish cinnamon apple pie filling over nutrient-dense pumpkin almond flour cookie dough for healthy vegan apple cookies that are grain-free, gluten-free, oil-free, egg-free, and refined sugar-free!

Apple Pie Cookies

almond flour

Tbsp tapioca flour ((see notes))

Tbsp coconut sugar ((see notes))

tsp baking powder

pumpkin puree

apple (diced)

Tbsp coconut sugar

dairy-free milk

You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.First, add all the cookie dough dry ingredients (almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut sugar, and baking powder) to a bowl and stir.

Then, add the pumpkin purée and vanilla extract and mix it with your hands until a dough forms.If the mixture is too sticky, add more almond flour, a spoonful at a time.

Roll the dough into a ball and wrap it in clingfilm to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, finely dice the apples, and add all the apple pie filling ingredients to a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for about 3 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 360 °F/180 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Divide the chilled cookie dough into 9 pieces (estimating or using scales for accurate results) and roll each piece into a ball. Then, evenly spread them across the prepared tray, with space in between.

Press an indent carefully into each of the cookie dough balls using the back of a 1-teaspoon measuring spoon. Then, use your fingers to gently widen it until the cookie is entirely bowl-like, with a small lip around the edge (to hold the filling).Refer to the step-by-step images or video in the post for more guidance.

Divide the apple pie filling between the cookies and then transfer them to the oven for 15-20 minutes. Once ready, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack, then enjoy!

I made these today. Delicious! I did double the apple filling and used almost all of it My cookies were a touch under 3 inches in diameter.. Thank you!

This was amazing! 
I ve been looking for some delicious tart like this for a while. our daughter is celiac and we are always falling short in the treat department. This was so delicious and the almond flour add a beautiful texture and flavour. Daughter loved it too! it's a great treat to take for her to someone's birthday party if the cake isn't safe for her to eat.

Can you freeze these if you make a double batch?

Apple Pie Cookies with Almond Flour

Apple Cookies with streusel topping are a pretty addition to any bake sale or dessert table. Make these for a sweet treat in under an hour!

Apple Cookies w/ Streusel Topping and Caramel Recipe

apples (peeled, cored, and diced (About 2 cups))

butter (2 sticks - softened)

eggs

caramel baking pieces

Peel, core, and dice apples and toss in lemon juice and put in the refrigerator until needed.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar (you can use a fork or a hand mixer).

Add in eggs and vanilla and mix well until smooth.

Slowly stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined.

Use a paper towel to pat the apples dry and fold apples and caramel pieces into cookie batter.

Chill dough for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

While your dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 375 degrees and make the crisp topping.

Using a fork, pastry cutter, or your hands, combine the butter, brown sugar, unbleached flour, and oats until crumbly. Set aside.

Using a cookie scoop, create 1” cookie balls with your dough (dough will be sticky).

Roll the cookie balls in the crumb topping before placing them 2” apart on baking sheets that have been lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 12-13 minutes until the center of the cookie is set. Do not over bake.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

For the glaze, combine powdered sugar and water until a smooth glaze forms. You can add more/less powdered sugar or water to get the consistency you want.

These apple cookies are beyond delicious and so easy to make. I'll definitely be adding this to my regular baking rotation.

I love apple, and having it in cookies was amazing. The streusel topping was so sweet.

After 3 weeks of perfecting these apple pie cookies, I created a soft, chewy cinnamon brown sugar base filled with my signature apple pie filling, topped with gooey caramel for an extra touch of fall flavor!

Caramel Apple Pie Cookies

½ tsp cinnamon

unsalted butter (room temperature, 1 cup)

Caramel Sauce - I used store bought jarred sauce

Combine the diced apples, lemon juice, water, brown sugar and all spices & cornstarch in a skillet over medium-low heat on the stove. Stir occasionally while mixture simmers, 5-7 minutes or until the apples are tender. Note: you can make the apple filling up to 3 days ahead of time and store in the fridge until ready to use.

Apple Filling

Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.

In a larger mixing bowl combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. You want this mixture to be fluffy and pale in color.

Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, beat for 30 seconds.

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed. The dough will be thick. I like to finish mixing the flour into the dough by hand with a spatula.

Use a cookie scoop to form golf ball sized cookie dough balls, roll into a smooth ball between your hands. Place about 8 cookies on a cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking mat at a time. I recommend only baking 1 cookie sheet at a time for even baking.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, then add the filling. Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Use the back of a tablespoon to create a well in the center of each cookie. Add about a tablespoon of filling to each cookie. Return to the oven and bake for 3-4 additional minutes. Allow the cookies to cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheet before removing. Drizzle with caramel sauce.

These are SOOOOO GOOD!!  Everyone loved them! My brother and 5 year old have requested that I make them again and again 🩷🩷

My husband said these were the best cookies he’s ever had and I have to agree and I’m not even a huge apple pie fan! I chilled the dough overnight just for the convenience of not having to make the recipe the day of thanksgiving dinner. Also made homemade caramel sauce. This recipe has been printed and put in my recipe book. Simply delicious!

Yum just made these and they are delicious! Will be making these again! 

Beautiful and delicious!

But don't you need to bring the filling to a boil before simmering? I think cornstarch activates (as a thickener) at 200-some degrees.

Made these and they turned out perfect. The cookie dough to apple topping ratio was just right and I didn't have any leftovers. Will be making again.

These are the most popular cookies I bake.  I brought my daughter a variety of desserts I recently made and she had a hard time deciding between my limoncello whoopie pies and this apple pie cookie.   I think the homemade caramel drizzle is what brought it over the finish line!  Thank you for your marvelously detailed recipe and beautiful photos.

These were seriously so yummy. Everything worked well together- the cookies were a perfect texture and weren't too sweet, the apple filling was sweet and tangy and spiced, and the caramel tasted great with the apple filling. I was worried because I didn't know if the recipe would turn out since it only had one review, but it was a win 👍

These definitely get soft, but I loved them! It's the perfect mix between a cookie and apple pie.

Soft, sweet, and packed with apples, these tender apple cookies are a must when it comes to fall baking!
