📝 Preparation Steps
1
Before you start. Preheat the oven to 400F/200 C and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Make the apple pie filling. In a pot, cook the chopped apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, spices, salt, and vanilla over medium heat until the apples are tender and the sauce is thick like caramel and bubbly, about ⏱️ 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool and set aside.
3
Cut out the cookies. Lay the defrosted puff pastry on a lightly floured cutting board. Use a 2 1/4-inch round cookie cutter to cut out 18-20 puff pastry rounds and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets. You can save the scraps to bake off later!
4
Indent the centers for filling. Use a small 1 1/2-inch round cutter to “score” the inside of each round. It should make an indent but not cut all the way through.
5
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake! Egg wash the tops then generously sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Bake until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown, about ⏱️ 10-13 minutes. Cool on a wire rack while you bake the second pan. You can bake off the puff pastry scraps! Brush them with egg wash, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and bake until golden brown.

6
Fill the center of the cookies. Once cool, use the back of a spoon to push down the center of the puff pastry. Then fill it with the apple pie filling.
7
Drizzle with caramel. Garnish with a drizzle of caramel and enjoy!
8
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. After the first day, they will soften from the moisture in the filling. To crisp them up, place them on a lined baking sheet and reheat them in the oven at 400 F/200 C until crispy, about ⏱️ 5-8 minutes.
