- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tsp heapingcinnamon heaping
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp Vanilla
Crust:
- 1-3/4 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 stick cold butter cut into slices
- 3 tbsp shortening chilled
- 1/4 cup ice water + 2 tbsp approximately
Instructions
Crust:
- Place flour, salt and sugar in a food processor. Pulse.
- Add butter and shortening and pulse until the mixture turns into coarse crumbs.
- Slowly add the ice water and pulse until the dough gathers up into a ball. If it doesn’t after a few seconds, add a few more drops of ice water until it does.
- Take the dough and flatten it into a disc and place it on a sheet of floured plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes before rolling.
Filling:
- You need to chop your apples very small for these cookies to work!
- Place the peeled, cored, and chopped apples in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a medium sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the 3 tbsp of flour and mix well, forming a paste. Add the water, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla and mix well. Bring to a boil for 1 minute, then reduce heat to a simmer for an additional minute.
- Remove from heat and reserve about 1/3 cup of sauce for your lattice crust.
- Add remaining sauce to apples. Toss well.
- Take your pie crust out of the refrigerator and cut it in half, rolling each half out thinly.
- Take one rolled out piece of dough and cut it into thin strips, make it into a lattice.
- Once you have your lattice prepared take your pie filling and spread it over your non-lattice pie crust, be sure to not over pack the crust with filling, the lattice can only stretch so much!
- Once your crust is evenly covered take your lattice and lay it over the top of the other crust, pressing the edges down slightly.
- Using either a round cookie cutter or a wide-mouth mason jar cut your cookies out of the filled crusts
- (There will be some wasted pie, but check out our Scr-Apple Pie! I will include the link in the description! You will never waste crust or filling again!)
- Place the cut cookies onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
- Brush the tops with the sauce that you kept aside
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown
- Let cool, and enjoy!
