Cook over medium heat until apples are softened and mixture is thickened; cool. , On a lightly floured surface roll out each portion of dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. apple cookie cutter. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Spread with 2 teaspoons of filling to within 1/4 in. of edge. Top with another cutout seal edges. , Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

AWESOME APPLE PIE-LETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium nonstick pot on the stove, combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt with 1/2 cup cold water. Mix until the ingredients dissolve. Add apples and stir. Bring to medium-high heat and, stirring frequently, cook until apples have softened, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and, stirring often, cook until thick and gooey, 1 to 2 additional minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool. This is your pie filling.
• Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with foil and/or spraying it with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• Place egg roll wrappers flat on a dry surface. Set out a small dish of water. Dip your finger into the water, and run it along all of the wrapper edges. Repeat as needed while preparing your pockets, as it will help seal them. Starting 1/2 inch from the bottom, place about 1/3 cup pie filling along the bottom half of each wrapper, leaving a 1/2-inch border on the sides.
• Fold the top 1/2 of each wrapper over the filling, so that the top edge meets the bottom and the filling is encased with a border on 3 sides. Dab each border with water, and fold each inward about 1/4 inch to lightly seal. Press firmly along the borders with the prongs of a fork to seal completely.
• Carefully transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat this process with remaining wrappers and filling, leaving you with 6 pie-lets.
• Spray the top of each pocket with 3 sprays butter. Bake in the oven until the edges begin to brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Top with additional cinnamon and whipped topping, if using. Dig in!

AWESOME APPLE PIE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add apples; toss until coated with butter. Stir in brown sugar, white sugar, lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves; cook and stir until apples have softened and sugars have melted, about 5 minutes. Bring to a boil.
• Combine water and cornstarch in a bowl. Stir cornstarch mixture into the apple mixture; cook and stir until apple mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Roll out 1 sheet of pie crust on a work surface with a rolling pin; cover with half of the cooled apple mixture. Roll out a second sheet of pie crust with a rolling pin; slice into 1/2-inch wide strips with a sharp knife. Weave pie crust strips together over apple mixture to create a lattice top.
• Flour a round cookie cutter or drinking glass. Press cookie cutter through dough to create 12 round pies. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is cooked through a golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, about 10 minutes.
• Repeat with remaining pie crusts and apple mixture; place on a second baking sheet. Bake in the oven until crust is cooked through a golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Combine confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a mixing bowl; add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir in milk slowly until desired consistency is reached; drizzle over cooled pies.

APPLE PIE COOKIES

Steps:

• Mix the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or use a large bowl and a hand mixer.
• Separate the egg and add the egg yolk along with the water to the batter. (Reserve the egg white to brush on top of the cookies before baking.)
• Add the flour and mix until all the flour is incorporated.
• Place the cookie dough on some parchment paper or aluminum foil and form it into the shape of a disc. Wrap it up in the parchment paper or foil and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. You can keep it in the refrigerator for a few days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• Meanwhile, make the apple filling. Peel and chop the apples. Add the apples and the sugar to a skillet. Bring to a boil on medium high heat.
• Reduce to a simmer, and cook, covered, for about 10 minutes, until the apples are soft.
• Take off the heat and add the lemon juice and vanilla. You can also add some cinnamon. Cool.
• Store the apple filling in the refrigerator. If you want to make a large batch to have on hand, sterilize the glass jar and lid, add the filling to the jar, seal with the lids and place the jar with the apple filling in a pot with boiling water, covering the jars by at least 1 inch. Cook for 10 minutes. Lift the jars out of the pot and cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• When the cookie dough has chilled, roll out half of it on a well floured surface. Use a cookie or biscuit cutter or even an inverted cup/glass and press out as many circles as you can. My biscuit cutter was 3 inches, but you can make the circles even bigger, if you want.
• Take all the extra dough, scrunch it up and place in the refrigerator to chill while you are making the cookies. I usually place it in the freezer, so it chills faster. Just don't forget about it. You can use every last scrap of dough for cookies.
• Place about a heaping teaspoon or so of filling in the center of the circles. Fold the circle over the filling, pinch the seams closed with your fingers and then use a fork to make sure the cookies are sealed well. Make sure there are no air pockets in the cookies, or they might burst as they bake.
• Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
• Use a fork to whisk up the egg white that you set aside earlier when making the dough. If you made the dough ahead of time and didn't save the egg white, just use a whole egg, whisk it up with a fork. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg white on top of the cookies. Sprinkle sugar on top of the cookies.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 22-30 minutes, depending on how thin you rolled out the dough and how big you made your cookies. The cookies should be lightly golden.
• Repeat with the remaining cookie dough and the cookie dough scraps.
