Apple Pie Cookies

I immediately loved the look of an apple pie cookie recipe I saw on Smitten Kitchen today.  However, as I read through the directions, I started wondering if I could take a few shortcuts.  It turns out that you can...and the result is still delicious!

It took me approximately 15 minutes to make 6 apple apple pie cookies, including pie dough from scratch.  A 20 minute bake time means you can enjoy these delicious treats in just 35 minutes! 

I used my grandma's pie crust recipe, one Jonagold apple, and a few sprinkles of cinnamon & sugar.  You'll also need biscuit cutters...I used a 3" cutter (for the pie dough) and a 1.5" cutter (for the apple) from my Pampered Chef set.

As Deb, of Smitten Kitchen, said "Let me make this clear before we go any further that this is pie for crust lovers as the crust-to-filling ratio is off the charts."  I love pie crust and I love these cookies, however I do wish there was a bit more apple flavor.
