Description
Delicious Dutch Apple Pie Cookies that combine the flavors of traditional apple pie in a convenient cookie form.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 roll of refrigerated pie dough (I used Marie Callender’s)
- 5 small Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced finely
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- For the Streusel Topping:
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cups old fashioned oats
- pinch of salt
- 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons (14 tablespoons total) butter, melted
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Use a dull knife to gently remove them from the tin. Cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to substitute other apple varieties if desired.
- For a richer flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the apple filling.
