Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Apple Pie Cookies.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, gently melt the butter over medium heat, inviting its rich aroma to fill your kitchen.
Step 3
Toss in the diced apples, ensuring they are luxuriously coated in the melted butter.
Step 4
Next, introduce the brown sugar, white sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves to the mix.
Step 5
Stir this delightful concoction until the apples soften and the sugars dissolve, which should take about five minutes.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch, then stir this slurry into the apple mixture.
Step 8
Cook until it thickens, roughly five minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool completely for about twenty minutes.
Step 9
On a clean surface, roll out one sheet of pie crust and spread half of the cooled apple mixture over it, creating a luscious base.
Step 10
Roll out a second sheet of pie crust and cut it into strips about half an inch wide.
Step 11
Weave these strips over the apple filling to craft a beautiful lattice top.
Step 12
Dust a round cookie cutter or a drinking glass with flour and press it into the dough to create twelve delightful round cookies.
Step 13
Transfer these to a baking sheet, ready for the oven.
Step 14
Bake in your preheated oven for around twenty minutes, or until the crust turns a golden brown, filling your home with an irresistible scent.
Step 15
Once baked, let them cool on a wire rack for about ten minutes.
Step 16
Repeat this process with the remaining pie crusts and apple mixture, placing them on a second baking sheet to achieve that perfect golden hue.
Step 17
For the finishing touch, mix confectioners' sugar with one teaspoon of cinnamon in a bowl.
Step 18
Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract and gradually stir in milk until you reach your desired glaze consistency.
Step 19
Drizzle this sweet glaze over the cooled cookies, transforming them into a delightful treat that’s sure to impress.
Step 20
Enjoy the fruits of your labor and the smiles they bring!.
