Apple Pie Filling Cookies
Soft, cakey 4-ingredient cookies made from spice cake mix, applesauce, and apple pie filling, finished with a caramel drizzle. Makes 3 dozen.
Ingredients
- 13.25 oz spice cake mix 1 box
- 2/3 c unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 c apple pie filling chopped
- 3 T caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- You can scissor the apple pie filling in a bowl, cutting the large pieces of apple about 1/2-in. Or cut them up using a paring knife then scoop them into a large bowl.
- Add the cake mix and applesauce. Stir to combine until you have a thick dough.
- Use a 1-inch cookie scoop to gather dough and drop a dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Note: If you don't have a cookie scoop,yYou can use the tips of two teaspoons to gather and drop a 1-inch blob of dough onto the prepared pan, about an inch apart.
- Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until set. Check doneness with a light fingertip touch or a toothpick in the middle of one cookie.
- These will be fragile hot from the oven and need to set as they cool. Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Add caramel sauce to a piping bag or zip-top baggie, snip a tiny hole off at the end, then drizzle over the cookies. Or warm the caramel in a small bowl and spoon the caramel over the tops of the cooled cookies.
Notes
These are a soft, cakey cookie and stay that way.
Store airtight 3 to 4 days with parchment between layers so the caramel does not stick.
Freeze un-drizzled and add caramel after thawing.
Yellow or white cake mix works with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg added.
