Apple Pie Cookies
INGREDIENTS:
· 1 package Refrigerated Pie Crust (2 crusts)
· 5 oz. Caramel Topping
· 10 oz. Apple Pie Filling
· 1 Egg
· 1 tsp. Cinnamon
· 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
· 1/4 cup Sugar
Roll out one of the pie crusts, spread caramel syrup over the top, as much as you like. Chop up the pie filling so the apples are small and spread evenly. Sprinkle with cinnamon & sugar.
Roll out second pie crust until smooth and cut into strips with a pizza cutter. Then create your lattice top, right on top of your pie filling. Beat an egg white with a tablespoon of water. Brush on the top of the pie crust. Sprinkle with more cinnamon & sugar.
Use a cookie cutter dipped in flour to cut each circle. Place on a greased cookie sheet {or on parchment paper}, bake at 325 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until slightly golden.
Apple Cheesecake Bites
INGREDIENTS:
· 1 refrigerated pie crust
· 2 8 oz. packages cream cheese, softened
· 1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
· 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
· 3 apples, diced

· 1/3 cup brown sugar
· 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
· 1 tsp. cornstarch
· 5 oatmeal cookies, crumbled
· Jarred caramel, for drizzling
Preheat oven to 350°.
Using the mouth of a large glass, press down onto the rolled-out pie crust, twisting to create mini crusts. Place pie dough discs in the wells of a greased muffin tin. Bake until lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Make the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla, scraping down the sides as necessary until combined. Spoon filling into pie cups, filling 2/3 of the way. Refrigerate until set, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Make the apple topping: Sauté apples in butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cornstarch, stirring until combined. Spoon sautéed apples into each cheesecake cup, filling it to the top.
Top each with crumbled cookies and a drizzle of caramel.
