1/2 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk or cream
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Assemble the Cookies:
Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter (about 3 inches in diameter) to cut out circles.
Place half of the circles on the prepared baking sheet. Add a small spoonful of apple filling to the center of each circle.
Cover with the remaining circles and press the edges with a fork to seal.
Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar for a golden, crispy finish.
4. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.
5. Optional Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle over the cooled cookies for extra sweetness.
Tips:
For a shortcut, use canned apple pie filling and chop it into smaller pieces.
Add a touch of caramel sauce inside or on top for an extra indulgent treat.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
