Apple Pie Cookies

. Check your pie crust’s defrosting instructions to make sure it’ll be ready when you are. Preheat your oven to 350˚.
2. Start by melting 3 tbs of butter with your diced apples. Let it cook over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and the apples are starting to soften — 2-3 minutes.
3. Add in the packed brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla. Let it continue to cook 2-3 more minutes over medium heat.
3. Mix in 2 tbs of flour to thicken the mixture, mix well and let it simmer for about 1 more minute.
4. Let the mixture cool slightly, and then spread evenly over one pie crust.
5. Layer the second pie crust — I criss-crossed mine in a lattice, but any style works! I also cut out a few small stars from the scraps.
6. Use a biscuit cutter or a thin glass to cut out the cookies.
7. Brush them with egg wash (1 beat egg with a splash of water) and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar mixture.
8. Bake for 30 minutes until the top is browned and golden.
