Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the cold butter cubes and mix with a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 2
Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- 3
Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- 4
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 5
In a bowl, combine the chopped apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
- 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- 7
Using a cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles. Place a small spoonful of the apple mixture onto the center of half of the circles, leaving a border.
- 8
Top each filled circle with another circle of dough. Use a fork to crimp the edges together, sealing the cookies.
- 9
Brush the tops of the cookies with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a nice finish.
- 10
Make slits on the tops of the cookies to allow steam to escape during baking.
- 11
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- 12
Allow the mini apple pie cookies to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
