Ingredients
COOKIE CUPS:
- 1 c. butter softened
- 1 c. light brown sugar
- 1/2 c. granulated sugar
- 2 lg. eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 c. old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
APPLE PIE FILLING:
- 2 T. butter
- 4 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 c. light brown sugar
- 1/4 c. granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- Caramel sauce for serving optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 non-stick standard muffin tins with cooking spray.
- COOKIE CUPS: In a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer, beat 1 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla, beat until combined.
- Add flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and beat until just combined.
- Using a medium cookie scoop (1-1/2 tablespoons) scoop dough into muffin tins and press to flatten. Bake until the cookie cups are golden brown and set, 18 to 20 minutes.
- While the cookies are still warm, make the cups. Spray the bottom of a small shot glass with cooking spray and press the shot glass down into the center of each cookie to create cups. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire cooling racks to cool completely.
- APPLE PIE FILLING: Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced apples, cook until they begin to soften. Add 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg, and cinnamon, cook until soft and caramelized.
- Spoon apple filling into the cookie cups. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
If you plan to make these in advance (which you can) make sure to store the cookie cups and apple pie filling separately in the refrigerator to avoid the cups from getting soggy.
