Instructions
1
First, preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2
Make apple pie filling. First add diced apples to a bowl. Squeeze lemon juice over the diced apples.
3
In a skillet, add diced apples coated in lemon juice and all other remaining apple filling ingredients.
4
Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on low medium heat, until bubbly and thickened. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
5
Then, make cookie dough. Add cold butter cubes, sugar and light brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until no clumps of butter remain.
6
Add in egg and vanilla. Mix to combine.
7
Next, add in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Stir until a thick dough is formed.
8
Use an ice cream scooper or large cookie scoop to scoop out balls of dough. Space at least 3 inches apart on lined baking pan.
9
Use your thumb to make an indentation in the middle of each cookie. Then, spoon in some apple pie filling.
10
Bake for 10 to 11 minutes, until cookies have spread and have lightly golden edges.
11
Finally, remove from oven. Cool for 10 minutes before carefully removing to a cooling rack.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Dice Apples Small for Even Filling 🍎Cut apples into small ¼-inch cubes rather than large chunks so they cook quickly and distribute evenly throughout each cookie without making them too chunky.
- Macerate Apples with Lemon & Cornstarch 🍋Toss diced apples with lemon juice and cornstarch 15-20 minutes before filling the cookies to draw out excess moisture and prevent soggy centers while thickening the filling naturally.
- Toast Your Spices Separately 🌟Bloom the cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a small dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing into the apple filling to intensify their warm flavors and create deeper, more complex taste.
- Keep Butter Truly Cold for Texture 🧈Cut cold butter into small cubes and keep it chilled until the last moment before mixing to ensure a tender, crumbly cookie texture rather than dense or greasy results.
- Chill Dough Before Scooping 🕐Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes so it holds the apple filling better during baking and prevents cookies from spreading too thin or losing their defined shape.
