Apple Pie Cookies – the cinnamon and apple flavors of one of the best kinds of pies in the form of a super soft cookie!

My fiance, Kal, loves a good apple pie. I remember this one time when we went to visit my dad in South Carolina, we went to Walmart to get a snack, and he bought a whole apple pie. He snacked on it the whole time we were there.

I’ve been thinking of what recipes to do for Fall and these Apple Pie Cookies were a no-brainer. I love the idea of turning something in one form into a different form. Like what’s normally a pie, is now a cookie.

And luckily, Kal likes to try my experiments. SO nothing goes to waste, because even if I think it was a bust, he’ll still eat it LOL. He’s my own personal garbage disposal.
