How to Make Mini Apple Pie Cookies
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Base
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Press a small amount of cookie dough into each cup, forming a shallow well.
Step 2: Cook the Apple Filling
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine diced apples, cinnamon, sweetener, lemon juice, water, and cornstarch. Cook until the apples soften and the mixture thickens into a glossy filling.
Step 3: Assemble
Spoon the apple mixture evenly over each cookie base.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the cookie edges turn golden and the filling is bubbly.
Step 5: Cool & Serve
Allow cookies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
