  • Rolling Pin
  • Cookie Cutter

Ingredients

Apple Pie Filling

  • 3 apples apples, peeled and sliced about 1 lb, sliced into 8 pieces each
  • 1-2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoon white sugar
  • 3 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 dash nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup water

Pie Crust

  • 1 cup unsalted butter cut into cubes, chilled (2 sticks)
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup ice water

Filling and Topping

  • 1.75 cups apple pie filling chopped into small pieces
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 egg egg lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions

  • To make Apple Pie Filling: Toss sliced apples with lemon juice and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, combine cornstarch, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water. Stir well and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly. Let it boil for 2 minutes until thick, then stir in apple slices.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Apples should be soft but not mushy. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Chop the cooled apples into small pieces and set aside.
  • To make Pie Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar.
  • Using a pastry blender, incorporate chilled butter cubes into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons of ice water over the mixture and blend. Repeat with another 2 tablespoons. The dough should hold together when squeezed.
  • Divide the dough into two equal pieces, flatten into discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray.
  • Roll out one disc of dough to 1/8-inch thick. Spread caramel sauce onto the crust.
  • Spread chopped apple pie filling over the caramel and gently tap down.
  • Cut the second pie crust into 1/2 inch strips and create a lattice top over the filling.
  • Using a round cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place them onto the baking sheet.
  • Beat the egg and brush the top of the cookies. Combine cinnamon and sugar, and sprinkle generously over the cookies.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

For a quicker option, you can use a package of refrigerated pie crusts instead of making your own.
