Published on November 20, 2021 - Updated on June 19, 2022 by Chahinez 29 Comments

Spread the love

These Crumbl apple pie cookies are a fun little twist on the original Thanksgiving apple pies. They are made with a chewy oat cookie then topped with homemade spiced apple pie filling and finished off with crunchy oaty cookie crumbs.

Since you’re here, I know you’ll also love Pecan pie twice baked sweet potatoes, Crumbl pecan pie cookies as well as Crumbl peanut butter muddy buddy cookies.

Crumbl apple pie cookies

Crumbl bakery never disappoints around the holidays. From pecan pie cookies to these apple pie cookies, they’re allowing us to have holiday pies in the shape of a cookie and I’m so here for it.

These cookies are like hand-help mini apple pies filled with gooey homemade spiced apple filling that uses two kinds of apples for the best flavor ever! With each bite, you will be able to feel warming spices that will just take this apple pie cookie to the next level!

This is the best Apple pie cookie recipe ever!

These cookies can be made year-round but I personally love making them instead of making apple pie because it’s a lot more laborious. Plus these are perfect for crowds because you’ll be able to give everyone their own cookie, no slicing required!

Need more apple recipes, you might want to check out this Apple Cider Donut Bundt Cake or even these Better Than Krispy Kreme Apple Donuts, they’re a bit laborious but they’re so worth it especially for Thanksgiving breakfast!

Why you need to make this recipe!

  • They’re great for crowds!
  • Fun little twist on a holiday classic.
  • The apple pie fillling is homemade and it doesn’t get any better than that.
  • They are perfectly flavored with warming spices.
  • No need to wait all year to get your crumbl fix with this easy recipe you can have them anytime the cravings hit!

Ingredients
 
 

Cookie base

  • ½ cup butter
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup old fashion oats
  • 1 & ½ cup AP flour
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Apple pie filling

  • 2 medium apple peeled and sliced thinly
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 & ½ tablespoon corn starch
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ginger
  • pinch of allspice
  • pinch of nutmeg

Instructions
 

Make the apple pie filling

  • In a large bowl, mix the apples and lemon together to keep them from darkening. Set aside.
  • In a medium or large saucepan, add in the water, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, corn starch, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and nutmeg, and whisk to combine. Bring to a bowl on medium heat and cook for 1-2 minutes or until it thickens a little bit.
  • Mix in the sliced apples and sitr to coat them in the liquid mixture. Cover with a lid and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring from time to time. The apple should be soft. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

Make the cookie base

  • Preheat the oven to 350F then line a baking sheet with parchement paper and set it aside.
  • In a stand mixer bowl, cream the butter, and brown sugar together until smooth. Add in the egg, molasses, and vanilla and mix again to combine.
  • Mix in the oats, flour, cinnamon, corn starch, baking powder, and salt just until the dry mixture disappears. Save about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough aside.
  • Using a large cookie scooper, scoop out 7 equally sized cookie dough balls, place them on the prepared baking sheet and gently press down with the back of a ¼ cup measuring cup. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Once the cookies come out, press the center with a measuring cup again in case you lost that well in the center.
  • In a small parchement lined baking sheet crumble the 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and bake in the oven for 6 minutes. Pull out the cookie dough, let it cool down for a few minutes then crumble it some more and bake again for 2 minutes to get it extra crunchy.

Assemble the cookies

  • Top each cookie with the apple pie filling then top it with the oat cookie crumbs and enjoy!

    These cookies are absolutely delicious!! Family approved for sure. I also just modified a bit today, I made the recipe according to instructions the only thing I change was I place the cookie dough in a mini cupcake tin, baked at 350• for 12 minutes, as soon as I pulled them out of the oven I pressed the center with a measuring spoon and let it cool a couple of minutes, removed them from the tin and once completely cooled down you get to fill them up with the apples! And that’s how you make the cutest, tastier mini apple pies

    My family was all over these! I’ll admit, I was a bit hesitant to try as many did not like Crumbl’s version, but these homemade ones were amazing. They were great both warmed and chilled, and I enjoyed mine topped with some whipped cream 😋

    Love these cookies – I just made some and I was wondering if they need to be refrigerated after making or are they ok to stay out?

        I’m making these the day before I need them. Are they ok just sitting out overnight for the next day? I’m making at least 3 dozen and I will put them in an air right container!

        As long as they’re stored in an air-tight container in the fridge it can last up to 4 days.

    Another great recipe by Chahinez. The oats add another layer of texture to these cookies . The apple pie filling was so easy to make but tasted like it took hours. Another one of my favorite cookies .
