We just couldn't pass up the opportunity to make another pie cookie! These treats taste just like Dutch apple pie thanks to a buttery cinnamon-crumb topping. Made with Pillsbury™ pie crust and fresh apples, these cookies couldn't be more delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peeled, cored, coarsely chopped baking apple (1 medium)
  • 3 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter
  • 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box
  • 1 egg, beaten

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
  • 2
    In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook apples, 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix flour, remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and the butter, using fork or pastry blender, until crumbly. Set aside.
  • 4
    Unroll 1 pie crust on work surface; roll into 12-inch round. Cut 12 rounds from crust, using 3-inch round cookie cutter, rerolling scraps as needed. Repeat with second pie crust. With 1- to 1 1/2-inch apple-shaped cookie cutter or desired cutter shape, cut out center of 12 rounds. Reserve cutouts.
  • 5
    Place 12 rounds 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Spoon level 1 tablespoonful apple mixture in center of each of 12 rounds. Brush edges of rounds with egg. Top each apple-topped round with remaining cutout dough rounds; press edges with fork to seal. Brush tops of dough rounds with egg. Place 1 reserved dough cutout on 1 side of each round. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over apple mixture of each round.
  • 6
    Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use your favorite variety of baking apple in this recipe, including Braeburn, Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • tip 2
    Substitute 1/4 cup finely chopped apple pie filling for the fresh apples used in this recipe.
  • tip 3
    For best results, bake cookies on the middle oven rack. For even baking, it’s best to bake one sheet at a time.
  • tip 4
    Use fun cookie cutter shapes to cut out the center of the top of each pie cookie, like stars for Fourth of July or leaves for the fall.
