Perfect Apple Pie Cookies

These gooey bites bring you the best of both world: fruity-caramelly flavor of traditional pie with  all of the convenience of a cookie (no fork required !!!)

I know, I haven’t really invented hot water, you have seen cookies like this on the internet in the last few years for sure. Mostly, those are quick and simple recipes for which you need just a few simple store bought ingredients (frozen pie crust and canned apple pie filling).

Since our apple tree in the garden did very well this year, it would be crazy of me to buy filling when I can make homemade filling from these fresh apples. Of course, if you have homemade filling, you must have homemade crust. Ok, let’s not kid ourselves, if you think I made caramel sauce myself, well, not this time. How ever much cooking is fun for me, I don’t really want to spend all my free time in the kitchen.

If you like the idea of these mini apple pies, and you don’t really have much time, be free to use the shortcuts and take refrigerated Pie Crust and a can of Apple Pie Filling. In only a few minutes, you will make identically tasty Apple Pie Cookies. If you’re not hungry for cookies you or apple based baking you could always bake something different, like a magic cake or the a great tasting peanut butter cheesecake.
