Ingredients
Frozen pie crusts
1 box (14 ounces) (Thawed)
Apple pie filling
1 can (16-20 ounces) (Chopped)
Caramel sauce
1 cup (Lightly coated)
Egg
1 (For egg wash)
Cinnamon sugar
2 tablespoons (Mixed with nutmeg)
Nutmeg
1 tablespoon (Mixed with cinnamon sugar)
Flour
As needed (For sprinkling)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Unroll one sheet of frozen pie crust onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out slightly to increase its surface area.
3
Drizzle caramel sauce over the pie crust and spread it evenly for a thin, delectable layer.
4
Carefully chop the apple pie filling into small pieces. Spoon the pie filling onto the caramel layer, ensuring it's an even, thin layer.
5
Roll out the second sheet of pie crust to match the size of the first. Cut it into long strips to create a lattice design.
6
Place the lattice strips over the apple filling directly on the cookie; don't create it separately to avoid mess. If preferred, simply place full rounds of pie crust on top, pricking holes to allow steam to escape.
7
Using a jar lid or your preferred cookie cutter, dip it into egg wash and cut out cookie shapes from the prepared crust.
8
Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg for added warmth and flavor. Ensure the edges are well-sealed when using the cookie cutter.
9
Transfer cookies to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
10
Once baked, allow cookies to cool slightly and enjoy with a glass of cold milk. For leftover scraps, simply roll them out, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and bake until golden.
