Steps:
- Toss together the apples, lemon juice, apple pie spice, vanilla and 1/3 cup of the sugar in a medium bowl. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the apple mixture and stir to coat with the butter. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally and adding about 1/4 cup water if the mixture becomes too dry or begins to brown, until the apples are tender and shiny, about 20 minutes. When the apples are tender, there should be some liquid left in the skillet; if not, add 1/4 cup water and stir. Mix the cornstarch with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and pour it into the apple mixture. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil to activate the starch. Cook until thick and bubbly, 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Whisk together the flour and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the remaining 8 tablespoons butter and 2/3 cup sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until just combined. Turn the mixer to low and gradually beat in the dry ingredients in 2 additions, beating until just incorporated.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Scoop 1-tablespoon portions of dough and roll between your hands to form 1-inch balls. Place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently press a thumbprint into the center of each ball about 1/2 inch deep, being careful not to crack the edges. Fill each indentation with 1 teaspoon of the filling, then chill the cookies 15 minutes in the freezer.
- Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
- Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back about halfway through, until the cookies are set, about 30 minutes. Cool the cookies completely on the baking sheets. Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Steps:
- Make the pie dough:
- Pulse sugar, salt, and 2 1/2 cups flour in a food processor to combine. Add butter and pulse until coarse, pea-sized crumbs form, about 10 seconds. With the motor running, add vinegar and 1/4 cup ice water and process until dough just comes together, about 30 seconds. Squeeze a small amount of dough between your fingertips; if it's very crumbly, add more ice water, 1 Tbsp. at a time (2 Tbsp. maximum). Do not overprocess.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and form into a rough ball. Knead a few times to combine, then divide into 2 equal balls. Flatten each ball into a disc with smooth edges and no cracks. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Make the filling:
- Peel, core, and slice apples into 1/4"-thick slices. Coarsely chop slices. Transfer to a large pot and add brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, 2 tsp. flour, and 2 Tbsp. water; stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally and adding water 1 Tbsp. at a time if bottom starts to brown, until apples are softened but still have a little bite, about 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
- Bake the cookies:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat egg and milk in a small bowl.
- Roll 1 disc of dough to an 1/8"-thick round about 13" in diameter. Using 3" cutter, cut dough into 12 rounds. Transfer rounds to prepared baking sheet. Spoon 1 heaping Tbsp. filling onto each round (do not overfill). Chill on sheet until ready to use.
- Roll second disc of dough to an 1/8"-thick round about 13" in diameter. Using 3" cutter, cut into 12 more rounds. Using leaf-shaped cutter, cut a hole in center of each round.
- Brush edges of rounds with apple filling with egg wash. Place cut-out rounds over filled rounds to create sandwiches, then press down lightly around edges to seal completely. Gently press down in center to even out filling.
- Brush top of sandwiches with egg wash and sprinkle with demerara sugar, if using.
- Bake cookies until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 30-35 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
- Do Ahead
- Cookies can be baked 2 days ahead. Loosely cover with foil and store at room temperature. Do not store in a sealed container or they will become too soft.

APPLE PIE COOKIES!
These Apple Pie-like Cookies are made of real Pie Crust layered with sticky Caramel, and a slathering of Apple Pie Filling, topped with a flaky and adorable Cinnamon & Nutmeg lattice crust.. So good. I use a jar lid for a cookie cutter. You can make these as large or as small as you like. From OhBiteIt. Go to their website for mouthwatering pictures. For a variation, use chocolate frosting and cherry pie filling. Yum. Maybe next time I will use blueberry filling with cream cheese to spread instead of caramel....or how about using jam instead of pie filling?

- Roll out the second sheet of Pie Crust the same size as the first sheet, and slice it into strips.
- Create a lattice crust (just like on a pie) for the top of the pie filling...DON'T create the lattice on the counter, it's not fun getting it on top of the bottom crust.ugh! Create your lattice on top of the actual filling, as if it were a pie! If you want, you can skip this and just place circles of pie crust over the cookies and prick holes in them, sealing with a fork.
- Dip your cookie cutter into some egg wash and cut out your Pie Cookies.
- Brush the tops of them with some egg wash and sprinkle them with the Cinnamon Sugar and Nutmeg. Make sure the edges are sealed as well as you can(the cookie cutter through both layers is what seals them! ).
- Place them onto a baking sheet(it will be easier if you use parchment paper so the juicy caramel doesn't stick to the pan) and bake them at 350 degrees for approximately 20-25 minutes, until they're golden and firm. Let them cool just a little.
- Pour a glass of cold Milk and grab a warm one, or 5. Open up and bite into the juiciest, chewiest, fruitiest Apple Pie Cookie ever.
- And any scraps left over? Just roll out the scraps and brush with melted butter then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake till golden. Or cut the cookies in squares to get more cookies and less waste!

Steps:
- IN a large bowl, combine oatmeal, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, nutmeg and salt.
- IN another bowl, whisk applesauce, splenda, liquid egg, and vanilla. Pour over oatmeal mixture and stir to combine.
- Add finely chopped apple (with skin) and stir.
- Bake on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet in 275 oven for about 25 minutes.
- Let cool completely.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily combine the oats, flour, and brown sugar.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to combine the ingredients.
- Be sure to use cold butter when making the crust. This will help the crust to be flaky and tender.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the crust tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the dough to be less sticky and easier to work with.
- When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the counter.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into circles. A dull knife will tear the dough and make it difficult to get clean cuts.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help the cookies to bake evenly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help the cookies to set and hold their shape.
