Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 28 ounces frozen pre-made pie doughs (2 boxes (4 pie dough circles))
  • 21 oz can of apple pie filling
  • Caramel sauce (like ice cream topping)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and line insulated baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Thaw pie dough according to package directions.
  • Empty can of apple pie filling into a bowl. Use a fork to take the apples out of the sauce. No need to wipe off the apples, you just don't want all the extra sauce.
  • Use a knife to cut the apples into small pieces.
  • Unroll 2 of the pie doughs and smooth any cracks.
  • Use a 2.5-inch round cookie cutter to cut out the base for the cookies, place them on prepared baking pan. Set scrap dough aside.
  • Add 1/2-1 teaspoon of caramel and dollop onto center of the pie dough cut-outs. You don’t want too much caramel as it will spread during baking.
  • Add a tablespoon of apple chunks on top of the caramel.
  • From your remaining two pie doughs, use a pizza cutter or knife to slice about 1/2 - 1 inch thick strips. Cut those strips into thirds or quarters.
  • Whisk egg and water in a bowl with a fork. Lightly baste around the edge of the cut out cookies.
  • Place strips of dough over the top of the cookies, 4 strips vertical and 4 strips horizontal. Be sure to place strips along the edges to avoid caramel from seeping out of when baking. We do not create a real lattice, but you can if you want to!
  • Place cookie cutter over the top of the mini apple pies and press down to trim off excess from the strips. Use your finger to go around the edges and clean up the dough scraps.
  • Lightly baste each cookie with egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let cool.
