Imagine the aroma of freshly baked apple pie wrapped up in a bite-sized cookie—yes, that’s Apple Pie Cookies for you.

Start by using pre-made pie crusts for a quick and easy shortcut that doesn’t compromise on flavor.

Roll out your pie crust and use a cookie cutter to create perfect, uniform rounds for the base of your cookies.

Mix together diced apples, cinnamon, sugar, and a touch of nutmeg for that classic apple pie filling taste.

Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the apple mixture to keep it bright and prevent browning.

Place a spoonful of the apple filling onto each pie crust round—don’t overdo it, or the filling will spill.

Cover the filling with another pie crust round and gently press the edges to seal your Apple Pie Cookies.

For a decorative touch, crimp the edges with a fork to give that classic pie look.

Brush the tops of your cookies with an egg wash for a golden, bakery-style finish.

Sprinkle a pinch of coarse sugar over the top for extra crunch and sweetness.

Bake your cookies in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

Let your Apple Pie Cookies cool on a wire rack to prevent soggy bottoms and keep them crisp.

Serve these cookies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

These Apple Pie Cookies are perfect for a holiday party, potluck, or just a cozy night at home.

Want to make them even more fun? Use different shaped cutters like stars or hearts for a whimsical touch.

For a gluten-free option, swap regular pie crust for a gluten-free alternative.

If you’re feeling adventurous, add a handful of chopped nuts or raisins to your filling.

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.

Reheat your Apple Pie Cookies in the oven for a few minutes to bring back that fresh-out-of-the-oven flavor.

They’re not just cookies—they’re little pieces of pie heaven, perfect for any occasion.
