Apple Pie Cookies – sticky and chewy, bite-sized caramel apple pies. Sometimes the regular old apple pie recipe is just too much dessert to handle. These gooey bites bring you the best of both worlds: the fruity-caramel flavor of traditional pie, with all of the convenience of a simple cookie recipe! (No fork required!!!)

Apple pie just got even better with this awesome recipe for apple pie cookies made with brown sugar and nutmeg with homemade cinnamon glaze.There's only thing more American than apple pie: apple pie cookies!

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).

Oven-Baked Mini Caramel Apple Pie Recipe

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.

Simple Bite-Sized Apple Pie Cookie Desserts

Although the summer is passing by slowly but surely, the thought of autumn treats, the smell of cinnamon and other aromatic spices which spread through the house while the cake with apple or pumpkin is baking in the oven is very comforting. These Apple Pie Cookies with gooey caramel loaded with the cinnamon flavor are the real comfort food for cold and rainy autumn days which are coming.

If you have the time for baking, you mix the crust, peel the apple and make the filling. But, also if you are in a hurry, it doesn’t mean that you can’t treat yourself with warm, juicy mini pies because the store bought ingredients really make the job easier. Coat one crust with caramel, spread the apple pie filling, cut the second pie crust into strips and cover the filling, cut the cookies, sprinkle it with cinnamon-sugar and your mini pies are ready for the oven. After half an hour, you can pour yourself a cup of milk and enjoy your home made Apple Pie Cookies.

Description

Apple Pie Cookies – sticky and chewy, bite-sized caramel apple pies. Sometimes the regular old apple pie recipe is just too much dessert to handle. These gooey bites bring you the best of both worlds: the fruity-caramel flavor of a traditional pie, with all the convenience of a simple cookie recipe! (No fork required!!!)


Ingredients

For Apple Pie Filling :

  • 3 apples (about 1 lbs.)-peeled and sliced into 8 slices each
  • 1–2 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 Tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • A dash of nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup water

For Pie Crust :

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

(or you can use 1 package of refrigerated pie crust (2 crusts))

Filling and Topping:

  • 1 and 3/4 cups apple pie filling-chopped into small pieces
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 egg -lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions

To make Apple Pie Filling:

  1. Toss sliced apples with lemon juice and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan or a pot combine cornstarch, sugar, browned 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.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Apples should be soft but not mushy (cooking time depends on the sort of apples). Remove apples from heat and leave them covered to soften and cool.
  4. When it’s cooled, set aside the apples from the sauce and chop them into small pieces.

To make Pie Crust:

  1. In a large mixing bowl place flour, salt, and sugar, and mix to combine.
  2. Using a pastry blender incorporate chilled butter cubes into the flour mixture(the mixture should resemble a coarse meal)
  3. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of ice water over the mixture and blend, repeat with another 2 tablespoons of water. When you squeeze the dough it should hold together (you may have to add more water if the dough crumbles, add 1 tablespoon at a time)
  4. Divide the dough into two equal pieces, flatten and form two discs, pack each disc with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  5. Lightly dust the working surface with flour, place chilled dough, and dust the dough and the rolling pin, too. Turn the dough as you roll to prevent it from sticking. Roll it out 1/8-inch thick.
  6. Repeat the process with the other disc.

Assembling the Apple Pie Cookies:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F, line the cookie sheet with parchment paper, spray with non-stick spray, and set aside.
  2. Spread the caramel sauce onto one pie crust.
  3. Spread chopped apple pie filling over caramel and gently tap the filling with your palms.
  4. Cut the second pie crust into 1/2-inch strips and create a lattice top over the filling.
  5. Using a round cookie cutter (about 2.5 inches) cut out the cookies and place them onto a baking sheet.
  6. Beat the egg with a fork and brush the top of the cookies.
  7. Combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle the cookies generously.
  8. Bake 20-30 minutes (until golden brown).

This recipe is confusing. Where is the recipe for a separate “caramel sauce?” Are you calling the caramel sauce the thickened juices left over from cooking the apples? And if so, why is it that in the recipe you give for “topping and filling” are you only using 1 3/4 cups of the apples? Is that what the initial 3 cups of apples cook down to? I just need a little clarity, thanks.

Reply
Vera Zecevic August 25, 2015 - 10:48 pm

Hi Kendra,I use store bought caramel sauce from a jar. The recipe says 3 apples,not 3 cups of apples. When you chopp cooked apples into really small pieces you will get about 1 3/4 cup apples( you might have a little leftovers apples but not much,depends on how big apples you have).
I hope this helps. if you need something else to clarify feel free to ask 🙂

So delicious! I had pie crusts and fried apple pie filling already on hadn for the holidays so I did this the lazy girl way it was still so yummy!!!!
One quick question, do we refrigerate them overnight if we don’t eat them all in one day or are they fine in an air tight container room temp?

doris October 24, 2022 - 3:19 pm

there is apple pie that has caramel in the recipe cuz I made it and it was good

How long are these cookies good for? I want to make them for Christmas but don’t want to make them to far in advance. Also just want to be sure do I use an additional caramel sauce of do I use the mixture the apples cooked in to spread on the base of the pie crust?

Some of these comments are ridiculous…. if you read the recipe she put on here, I mean actually read it, not just look for something to criticize, you’ll understand the instructions. She answers every one of your “confused” questions in her story and recipe. Yes, she mentions about 5 times you can use store bought crust, and yes, you can use canned OR your own apples.
They make as many cookies as the damn cutter can cut! That was ridiculous…
And what do you do with the leftover caramel!?! SERIOUSLY!?!? Throw it away, eat it, take a bath in it!! My lord people, you’re making apple pie not a rocket!!

Is it possible to cut the apples into smaller pieces prior to adding to sugar, cornstarch mixture, as opposed to cutting them after they have cooked?

Reply
Vera Zecevic August 26, 2015 - 8:31 pm

You could try that,but I like to chop them after cooking as it will preserve the texture and will not become too mushy.

I made these using canned apples (sauce and all). I also used premade pie dough. Only difference was that I used parchment paper on the cookie sheet and no need to spray. Clean up was a breeze cookies leaked very little. I think the cookies leaking out has to do with how much caramel you spread on. They definitely taste best the day they are made.

Spreading the mixture onto the dough then putting the chopped apples on top was perfect. They aren’t too sweet and taste exactly like an apple pie.

Yes, press it a little to the bottom crust and caramel to spread evenly and and stick better so the cookies won’t fall apart.

Have you ever just baked the whole apple-lattice-pie crust concoction without cutting it into cookies? Like one BIG thin apple pie? I have made pizza cookies for 30 years. Would baking this whole thing on a pizza pan work? Then, there would be no waste…just cut it into squares.

I’m a pastry chef/baker and am thinking about making an adapted version of these for my dessert case at work. It seems to me that, in order to make the bottoms more stable and cookie-like, it might be nice to use par-baked shortbread as the bottom (like you would with fruit bars) and pie dough for the top. Going to try it.

Cutting them after putting everything onto the crust was an extreme mess. I am not sure what went wrong or why mine are different than everyone else. Also, mine are glued to the parchment paper with the caramel sauce and have to be pried off with forks.

I made these with ease I am unsure of what the issue was with everyone else. I opted for the store crust which made my life easier as I made pumpkin pie and banana bread today as well. They turned out great although I did end up cooking them about 35 minutes. I started at 25 but they were still under cooked so i added time and kept checking which was about 10 extra minutes. I was not wanting a gooey mess like others so i portioned my caramel sauce evenly over my crust. I did find it was lacking some of the flavor in my opinion (I tasted more dough then the sweetness of everything else) so I just drizzled caramel over it and a tiny bit more sugar & honestly thats all it took. These are a hit with my littles! Thank you

Reply
Kathy T. November 26, 2015 - 6:25 pm

I suck at baking so I took the easy way out on this: I Bought pre-made pie crust, canned caramel, and canned apple pie filling and they turned out great!!!!! My only tip would be to “strain” the apples from the filling (so that you’re just using the apple part and not the other gooey stuff as much).

Reply
Brandon November 27, 2015 - 1:26 am

Made these they are awesome! Even with canned apples with the caramel sauce already in it. My question is this: after cooking what is recommended for storing, room temperature in a container? Refridgeration?

You can keep them in a container at room temperature for day or two ,but for longer storage keep them in the fridge.

Not sure why so many were confused. I stepped through everything with ease & the pics gave me guidance on how to put the cooies together which helped alot.

I didn’t use caramel & added pecans which turned out good too. Too make sure nothing got sticky I used the no stick spray on my know before I cut. I didn’t have a cookie cutter so I placed a small glass in the freezer for a couple mins while I assembled everything. Came out great.

Made these using cooked cranberries and used a pretty flower shaped cutter, they came out lovely. Oiled parchment and that egg glaze on top are pretty important steps, I think the egg helps prevent oozing and the oiled paper is absolutely necessary to get these off the pan.
I’d post a picture of how pretty they were if I knew how. I’m making another batch using minted loquats as soon as the dough is chilled.

I love this idea, but it seems wasteful. Why not just bake the thing like a dishless pie and cut it up that way. Seems such a waste to throw away all those trimming just to cut out circles.

You dont have to waste anything, bake the trimmings too and snack on those. Same thing just won’t be pretty round shaped lol.

Cookies taste great but when making are hard to cut out to put on the cookie sheet. Can you cut them into cookies shapes after? Cook one big pie and then cut them out?

This recipe was very difficult. I used premade pie crusts. There was too much caramel and it spilled over. I have what I made in the oven. I will not make this again. It’s not worth the trouble.

This looked SO good so I had to try it. I used canned apple filling and a jar of caramel sauce. The filling ran all over on the cookie sheet and everything ended up being a sticky mess. The house smells marvelous but the cookies were completely inedible. I’m so disappointed because the pictures looked fantastic!

Trying to make these look like the picture will frustrate the snot out of you. The caramel sauce spread over the dough makes this a slippery mess that, in my opinion, wasn’t worth the end result. I tossed more than I actually made.
I had MUCH better results by simply cutting out circles of dough using a drinking glass, putting a small dollop of caramel sauce and apple filling in the middle, and then sandwiching it between another dough circle. I used the egg wash as a glue for the dough & pinched the edges. Then I pierced the tops with a fork and followed the directions from there. They came out like mini-pie/turnover hybrids and they were quite tasty.

in the oven now. smells amazing, and the different components tasted great (the apple mixture, homemade caramel sauce) – however, I dread opening the oven to see what they look like. I am sure they will be a mess. lots of effort went into these – in hind site, I shouldn’t have made the lattice top. I should have just popped the top pie on and cut and crimped the edges. Timer just went off – they are a mess, but less then I expected. They also come off the parchment paper easy enough if they’re still hot.

HIGHLY suggest buying Pie Filling and adding the Cinnamon and Nutmeg yourself. All we had to do was slice the filling apples a little smaller. Made it SO easy. Also be generous with the sugar topping step. Adds some crunch to the cookie.

This recipe was a hit at our cookie party! So tasty!

This looks good however there are short comings. A good close up of the crump shot would be helpful so that one can assess the texture of the pastry. I feel that the instructions are not clear in places.

Soooo, these taste AMAZING and I made my own pie crust with them. It was buttery and light, I left them in the over a few extra minutes and they were just a little crisp, perfect. However, mine looked like monster franken- pies and were super messy, I used a glass because i did’t have a cookie cutter so I’m sure it didn’t help lol. I feel like it was easy to prep everything, the dough rolled out really nicely. I followed the instructions, but I think cutting them out was what messed them up, because they did nottttt look like the picture! Once they cooked and everything set they were fine, they didn’t fall apart by any means. Good stuff!

Love love love this recipe. Very tedious but well worth it. They taste just like apple pie bites. Which work perfect for me because I’m not really a sweets eater, so the sample is JUST enough. I posted a pic of my cookies I made first round and my Facebook friends went NUTS. I ended up having to make 8 dozens of these … can u imagine LOL . Nonetheless, thanks for this ❤️

Tasty and a very simple concept with classic ingredients!! Hard to go wrong! Recipe steps simplified: 1) Lay out one pie crust. 2) Spread thin layer of caramel. 3) Spread layer of apple filling. 4) Place lattice of second pie crust. 5) Cut out ”cookies” with cookie cutter. 6) sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. 7) Bake.

Suggesting: experiment with ingredients if yours didn’t turn out!!
As others have noted, , the caramel goes everywhere during baking. Even the picture promoting this recipe is clearly doctored by adding caramel added afterward. That’s ok! I just drizzled with caramel after baking, too. Delicious with a little bowl of premium vanilla ice cream.

I tried this recipe for a Friendsgiving gathering and everything went fine until I cut the pie into cookies. The caramel sauce was sliding out everywhere. I was still optimistic but once they were baked, it was just a jumbled mess on the cookie sheet. I wish I could post a picture because they were 0/5 star cookies. They did taste good as long as we didn’t look at what we were eating. I would have been much better off keeping it whole as a caramel apple pie but the cookies turned out really badly.

Ok I’ve read all the comments and these look great and I’m thinking about trying them for Thanksgiving this year. So I just wanted to be certain ahead of time….I’m planning to use store bought crusts and canned filling (im not a baker lol). I’ve seen some suggest to strain the canned filling if they opt for Carmel sauce and others have used just the can filling successfully, am I wrong? Due to diabetics in the family I was figuring on just using the canned filling and skipping the caramel sauce; so I just want to double check that they can be successful going that basic. Thanks

Reply
Tracy September 7, 2021 - 3:35 pm

Recipe was tasty! However, I’m thinking that using a muffin pan to make little cups with the crusts instead, then transferring them to a baking sheet, might be a better option to keep the filling contained. Also, I substituted corn starch with flour in mine and added some butter to make it closer to a traditional pie filling, and it worked nicely for those who don’t like to use corn starch!
