Apple Pie Cookies
I guess it’s time to confess. I am an ugly pie maker. Don’t get me wrong, my pies taste amazing.
I even make beautiful flaky homemade pie crust, but they look like a 5th grader made them.
I can never get the crust to do that pretty ripple thing that you shape with your knuckles.
Plus they are always sloppy looking, because I ALWAYS over fill them.
I know I should stop, but then I always have to put in an extra spoonful or two of filling.
Then they overflow and make a delicious pie mess. It’s why I am better at making cobblers.
Cobblers forgive you for adding extra filling.
So if you are like me, this recipe is for you: Apple Pie in cookie form.
4th of July is coming and this year you don’t have to show up with a pie that looks like it already had a firework go off in it.
Instead, you can show up with apple pie cookies. It’s genius.
Head on over to Dixie Crystals to check out this recipe I developed for Apple Pie Cookies!
My pies are uglier than most as well. I love this cookie substitute though!! FUN!
I like cookies better anyways! Heading over to check out your recipe!
Wow, these look really great, you can also smell the sweet apple pie.
I am really excited to try these! I like that I don’t have to make my own apples for it.
My pies always look like yours. 😉
I made these today for a potluck! Perfection!
I make horrible-looking pies too. Totally on board with these cookies!
How absolutely fabulous! No more pie crusts!
I love the smell of baked apple pie and cinnamon. Mmmmm! I will try your apple pie cookies recipe, sounds good 🙂 Pinned! Thanks.
These look awesome. I’ll have to make these for Rick… 😀
Love this idea! I can make some pretty pies, but these cookies are much easier to eat at a party. So fun!
I found your blog looking for a recipe for a pineapple coconut cake recipe. Been baking and cooking for over 40 years and can read a recipe and know what the results will be…it was exactly what I was looking for. So thx! Pie making turns out best when u handle the dough the least. Hand oils and so forth affect the final result. If you aren’t comfortable with the knuckle effect…dip a wide tine fork in some egg yolk and cream then sugar and shape the crust with that…multi directional is very pretty on a baked crust. And if u wanna over fill your pie…just use a deeper dish sis Happy baking all! P.S. Grab some play dough and practice the knuckle crust…no harm no foul and your kiddos can learn right along with you!!
