Ingredients

Servings

  • 1 1/2 cups cake flour
  • 2 tsp. corn starch
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Apple Pie Filling

  • 2 apples, peeled and diced very small honey crisp, pink lady, granny smith, etc.
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, fresh
  • 1/2 cup water, plus more as needed
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. corn starch
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. cloves
  • 1/2 Tbsp. butter

Cookie garnish

  • caramel
  • Cinnamon Graham Crackers, crushed

Instructions

Apple Pie Filling

  1. Place the diced apples in a bowl, drizzle lemon juice over apples and stir.
  2. Place water, sugars, corn starch and spices in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
  3. Lower the heat to simmer, add the apples, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken, ~5-8 minutes. Add more water, as needed. Apples should be tender and cooked.
  4. Turn off heat, add the butter to the apples and stir to combine. Let cool while you make the cookie dough.

Cookie Dough

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all purpose flour, cake flour, corn starch, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside
  3. Place the cubed butter and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixture and secure the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer on and cream until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add in the eggs, egg yolks and vanilla extract and blend until mixed. Use a rubber spatula to knock off mixture if any is sticking to the sides of the bowl and mix again.
  5. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, about 1/4 cup at a time.
  6. Roll cookie dough into balls and place on prepared cookie sheet. Make an indent in each cookie, using your thumb or the end of a spoon/spatula or something similar. (I used the end of a wooden juicer, see video).
  7. Spoon ~1 Tbsp. of apple pie filling in each cookie and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  8. Fill the center of each cookie with a little more apple pie filling once they're baked. Cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top and finish with a drizzle of caramel. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I used a store bought caramel. 
  • Cookies will last in the refrigerator, covered for up to 1 week. 
  • Instead of a caramel drizzle, try glazing with a powdered sugar glaze. (Mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar and a splash of milk)
  • Be sure to chop the apples very small. More apple in each bite!
  • Let the cookies cool before glazing or drizzling with caramel.
