Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pkg refrigerated sugar cookie dough, roll 16.5 oz,
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp unsalted butter or margarine
1/4 c packed brown sugar
1 tsp apple pie spice
1 1/3 c apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped (Gala or Granny Smith)
1/3 c pecans, finely chopped
1 1/4 c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp caramel ice cream topping
1 Tbsp whole milk
**PLUS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR FOR DUSTING

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, break cookie dough into pieces. Sprinkle cinnamon over cookie dough.
  • 2. Using hands, work cinnamon into cookie dough for 1 minute or until blended.
  • 3. Reshape cinnamon-flavored cookie dough into a cylinder form; cover in plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill quickly.
  • 4. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • 5. Stir brown sugar, apple pie spice, chopped apples, and chopped pecans into melted butter. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until mixture is blended and apples are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • 6. Remove apple pecan filling mixture from heat and let cool 12 to 15 minutes.
  • 7. Spread a 15-inch large sheet of wax paper onto a large work surface. Dust paper and rolling pin lightly with flour.
  • 8. Roll chilled cinnamon flavored cookie dough on flour dusted paper to form a 10x7 inch rectangle.
  • 9. Spoon and spread cooled apple pecan filling over dough rectangle, to within 1/2 inch of edges.
  • 10. Using paper to guide, beginning with a long side, carefully roll up the cookie dough and filling, using the wax paper to lift and guide the roll.
  • 11. Wrap in wax paper or plastic wrap. Chill for 1 to 2 hours in refrigerator.
  • 12. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut and spread two sheets of parchment paper over 2 large baking sheet or cookie sheet pans; set aside.
  • 13. Spread an additional 15-inch sheet of wax paper onto a large work surface and dust lightly with flour.
  • 14. Cut chilled cookie filled roll into 1/4-inch slices to form 18 pinwheel sliced cookies.
  • 15. Place slices onto prepared baking sheet pans at least 2-inches apart.
  • 16. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and edges are firm. Cool on baking sheet pans over cooling racks for 15 minutes.
  • 17. Meanwhile, prepare caramel glaze. In a medium bowl, stir powdered sugar, caramel topping, and milk together for 1 minute or until blended and creamy.
  • 18. Drizzle or spread a little caramel glaze evenly over each cookie. With a flat spatula, carefully place cookies onto a serving plate and serve. Serves 18 cookies. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp apples. Granny Smith apples are a good choice, as they hold their shape well when baked.
  • Be sure to peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming too mushy.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
  • Don't over-mix the dough. Over-mixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Over-baking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before glazing them. This will help the glaze to set properly.
  • For a thicker glaze, add more confectioners' sugar. For a thinner glaze, add more milk.
  • You can decorate the cookies with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even edible glitter before the glaze sets.

Conclusion:

These glazed apple cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy, with a sweet and tangy glaze that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy snack or a special dessert to serve at your next party, these cookies are sure to hit the spot.
