Perfect Apple Pie Cookies

These gooey bites bring you the best of both world: fruity-caramelly flavor of traditional pie with  all of the convenience of a cookie (no fork required !!!)

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).

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.
