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!
