Description
Apple Pie Sandwich Cookies are a delightful twist on the classic apple pie, combining the sweetness of sugar cookies with warm apple pie filling.
Ingredients
- Sugar cookies: 24 (store-bought or homemade)
- Apple pie filling: 1 cup (canned or homemade)
- Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Powdered sugar: 1/2 cup (for dusting)
- Butter: 1/4 cup (softened)
Instructions
- Prepare the cookie dough by creaming together softened butter and sugar, then add egg and vanilla extract, followed by flour, baking powder, and salt. Roll into balls and flatten on a baking sheet.
- Bake cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden brown, then cool on a wire rack.
- For the apple filling, stir ground cinnamon into canned filling or cook peeled and chopped apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice until tender.
- Assemble cookies by spreading apple filling on one cookie and topping with another cookie.
- Optionally warm the assembled cookies in the oven for a few minutes before serving, then dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Choose sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the filling.
- Consider variations by adding spices, nuts, or using different cookie bases.
