Apples are my favorite fruit. I absolutely love to bake with them, too! Here’s a fun and EASY take on classic apple pie. It’s far simpler and more portable than taking an apple pie to your family’s Sunday dinner!
WHAT YOU NEED:
- 1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 1 large green apple
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablesoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
MAKE THEM:
COOKIES
If cookies are in powder form, make dough according per package instruction. If refrigerated, cut into about 2 tablespoon sections. Place dough in lightly oiled mini silicone muffin pan and bake at temperature on package.
Once cookies are just about done, use the end of a wooden kitchen tool to gently deflate and push in the centers to create a cup. Let bake rest of the way and push in again once they are out of the oven.
APPLE PIE FILLING
In a medium saucepan over medium low heat, combine the apple, sugar, lemon juice, spice, and cornstarch. Mix well and allow to boil for about a minute, stirring while it boils. Take off heat and let set for 15 minutes. You can also put it in the fridge to set quicker.
Fill the cookie cups and dust with powdered sugar. ENJOY!

Jeni’s Disclaimer: I’m just a regular girl. I love to drink wine while I bake. I’m by no means a professional baker or pro photographer. My creations aren’t staged, they just are what they are, and that’s probably obvious from the pictures. I create my recipes from inspiration of scents and flavors around me. I also repurpose my grandma’s old recipes. If you love to bake and your food ends up looking like REAL food, and not like something you’ll see on Instagram, you’re in the right place.
