For this recipe, you’re going to need to check out our apple pie pastry and filling recipe which can be found here. If you want to use store bought shells and filling, by all means do that! Time is often of the essence and let’s face it, sometimes you just want to do something easy that you know is going to taste good (no matter what you do). BUT, if you want to try this from scratch, I have the recipes all ready for you to do that. It’s so satisfying to bake something you’ve never made before.
These are a labour of love for what you get out of them in the end. Let’s just make that clear! There is a lot of leftover dough and apple pie filling, but the cuteness of the cookies definitely makes up for that! Besides, you can always do what I did and scoop all the leftovers up into a pan and bake them like that…I call it, Apple Pie “bake”/mess.
