    12 Servings

Ingredients

For the Sugar Cookie Crust: For the Filling:
  • 3 Apples, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

  1. In a bowl, beat butter until creamy, then add the egg white and continue mixing until combined.  Add dry sugar cookie mix and use hands to mix until dough forms.
  2. Gather dough into a ball and flatten into a disc shape. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 20 minutes or until dough is firm.
  3. While dough is in the freezer, prepare the apple mixture. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet. Add apples and cinnamon and stir until they are coated in the melted butter.
  4. Cook apples on medium heat for 2-3 min. then incorporate the brown sugar and water.  Continue cooking apple mixture until it caramelizes and remove from heat. 
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F.  Remove dough from freezer. Lightly flour your countertop and rolling pin and spray muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  6. Set aside 1/4 of the cookie dough. Roll remaining dough into nine 1 1/2-inch balls. Place one ball into each muffin cup and press dough into bottom and 2/3 up the sides. Fill each cup with apple mixture.
  7. Roll out the set-aside dough until it is 1/4-inch thick and cut into 1/2-inch wide strips. Place strips on top of each cup in a crisscross pattern, sealing dough at edges.
  8. Bake for 14-16 min. or until crust is golden. Allow cookie cups to cool before enjoying.
