Then, much like you would with shortbread or sugar cookies, you simply cut out rounds from the dough using a cookie cutter. To transform these ingredients into apple pie cookies, all you need to do is spread the filling on the rolled-out dough and top it with a lattice. Instead, it calls for actual pie dough and apple pie filling. Unlike most apple pie cookies, this version doesn't rely on simply mixing cookie dough with apple pie spice to re-create the flavor. (Not to mention, the end results are quite cute.) Best of all, it'll still fill your entire house with that unmistakable aroma of spiced apples.

That's where these apple pie cookies come into play. Nothing screams fall quite like a homemade apple pie - but let's face it, baking cookies is usually a much easier feat.
