Glazed Caramel Apple Pecan Pinwheel Cookies | Just A Pinch image

This is a delicious cookie version of apple pie. They are so tender, you might find yourself eating them with a fork. Starting with store-bought dough, that you jazz up with cinnamon, makes them a snap to create. The apple pecan filling is delicious. We could have eaten it with a spoon. Serve warm, with a small scoop of ice cream...

Time 1h46m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups thinly sliced apples
½ cup chopped pecans
½ cup butter
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup fluted tube baking pan (such as a Bundt® pan).

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that hold their shape well when baked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze set properly.
  • Use a variety of toppings: In addition to the caramel glaze, you can also top the cookies with chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even a drizzle of chocolate.

Conclusion:

Glazed Caramel Apple Pecan Pinwheel Cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion.
