It is my grandmother’s favorite recipe. It is a sticky, chewy, bite-sized apple pies. Occasionally, the regular old recipe for apple pie is just too much dessert to handle, so I can guarantee that you’ll love these Amazing Apple Pie Cookies.

¼ cup butter
(4) eaches apples, peeled, diced into 1/4-inch cubes
½ cup brown sugar

1 ½ tsp lemon juice
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground allspice
⅛ tsp ground cloves
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp cornstarch
(4) sheets pie crust pastries
1 tsp all-purpose flour

¾ cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ tbsp milk

Preheat oven 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Add and melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add apples, toss until coated with butter.
