Ingredients

• 2 rolls Premade pie crusts (refrigerated)
• 2 pieces Large apples (e.g., Granny Smith, Honeycrisp)
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 piece Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 teaspoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel, core, and finely dice the apples into small cubes.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes until the apples are softened and the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Roll out one of the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cookie cutter (approximately 2.5-3 inches in diameter), cut out as many circles as possible and place them onto one of the prepared baking sheets.

Step 5

Place a small spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each circle, making sure not to overfill.

Step 6

Roll out the second pie crust and cut out the same number of circles. Use a small knife or cookie cutter to create slits or decorative openings in each circle to allow ventilation during baking.

Step 7

Brush the edges of the bottom crusts with a small amount of water, then lay the top crusts over the filling. Gently press the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal.

Step 8

In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the cookies with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the Apple Pie Cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy these deliciously sweet treats!
