This recipe comes straight from a dear friend and colleague, who always knows just how to make dessert super easy, super adorable and super delicious. The secret to these cookies is a rich crumble topping and store-bought pie crust.
Easy Apple Pie Cookies
Ingredients
For the streusel:
- 4 tbs. unsalted butter melted
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- pinch of kosher salt
For the filling:
- 2 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored and diced
- 2 tbs. brown sugar
- 2 tbs. unsalted butter
- 1 lemon juice only
- pinch kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 pie crust store-bought, at room temperature
Instructions
- Make the streusel: Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the streusel ingredients in a bowl, breaking up any large clumps, and spread onto your baking sheet. Set aside to dry (can be made a day ahead; store covered at room temperature).

- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin or line with parchment paper cups. Unroll your pie crust and use a glass or cookie cutter to cut circles that are slightly larger — about 1/4 inch — than the base of your muffin cups (I used a 2 1/2-inch cutter).
- Place the circles in the bottom of each muffin cup, pressing gently along the sides and bottoms. Spoon some apple filling into each crust and top with the streusel.
- Bake cookies for 20 minutes, or until streusel is golden brown. Cool completely in tins on a wire rack. Serve immediately or store, covered, for up to 3 days.
