Let the mixture cool completely.
Assemble the Cookies
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll one pie crust. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out circles. Re-roll scraps to get about 12 circles total.
Place half the circles on the baking sheet.
Spoon a small amount of cooled apple filling onto the center of each circle, leaving a border.
Place a second dough circle on top of each filled one.
Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
Bake the Cookies
Brush the top of each cookie with milk. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Cut two small slits in the top of each cookie.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before moving them.
How to Store Apple Pie Cookies
Let the cookies cool completely. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Can I Freeze Apple Pie Cookies?
Yes, you can freeze apple pie cookies. Place cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
