    It’s time for apple cakes. They are all over the place right now. Why? Cause they are delicious! No matter if it’s a plain apple cake, pie or maybe cupcakes – I love them all. Today I decided to go for a mini version of an apple pie in shape of cookies. Cause it’s Cookie Friday!

    You can call these little beauties Apple Pie Cookies or Mini-Mini-Apple Pies. When you look at them from above, they look like regular apple pies. When you look from the side they are a bit too flat for actual pies – that’s why they are called cookies ;P Well no matter what name – the result is delicious. Sweet and sour apples in combination with cinnamon are the best. No matter what size the bake has at the end. Every day no matter if good or bad, turns into an awesome day when you have something like that in the oven and the flavors start to develop and suddenly the whole kitchen smells like apple pie. I love it! To make these cookies even better, they also have a layer of dulce de leche on top of the apples. So good! Everything should be topped with caramel sauce! ;)

    I made round cookies with this recipe – just because it looks more “cookie-like” on the picture. I actually recommend making square cookies here. If you cut out round cookies, you end up with a lot of “waste”. Good dough and filling that can’t be made into cookies anymore. Not good. I mean you can make something similar to an apple crumble with the remaining dough and bake it in a little pan, but there are better ways… just roll out the dough to a square or rectangle and cut out squares. No waste and even more cookies at the end ;)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • Deutsch
    1. For the dough mix the water with the apple cider vinegar. Place in the fridge for some time (or add an ice cube) to cool it down. Mix the flour with salt, and sugar in a large bowl, add the cold butter in small pieces and cut with a knife or pastry blender into pea-size pieces. Add some of the cold vinegar water mix and knead quickly with your hands until the dough starts coming together – add some more water if needed. The dough should not be sticky. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 45 minutes.

    2. Peel, quarter and core the apples, cut into thin slices. Place in a bowl and mix with lemon juice and sugar. Cover and let sit for about 30 minutes.

    3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with baking parchment and set aside. Roll out half of the dough on a floured surface thinly. Roll out the remaining dough the same way and cut into thin strips.

    4. Drain the apples from any liquid, then mix with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and allspice. Spread the apple mix evenly on top of the dough and press down to get an even layer. Spread the dulce de leche on top of the apples. Create a lattice pattern with the dough strips on top of the apples. Use a 3 inches /7,7cm cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place on the baking sheets. Sprinkle with some brown sugar and bake for 22-26 minutes. Take out of the oven, let cool down on the baking sheets for some time, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely.

    1. Das Wasser mit dem Apfelessig mischen und für ein paar Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen (oder einen Eiswürfel dazugeben). Das Mehl mit dem Salz und Zucker in einer großen Schüssel vermischen, dann die kalte Butter in kleinen Stücken zugeben. Die Butter mit einem Messer oder Teigmischer in etwa erbsengroße Stücke zerteilen und mit dem Mehl vermengen. Etwas von der Wasser-Essig Mischung zugeben und alles schnell zu einem Teig zusammenkneten – sollte der Teig noch zu bröselig sein, etwas mehr Flüssigkeit zugeben. Der Teig sollte nicht klebrig sein. Den Teig zu einer Kugel formen, plattdrücken und in Klarsichtfolie wickeln. Für etwa 45 Minuten in den Kühlschrank legen.

    2. Die Äpfel schälen, vierteln, entkernen und dann in feine Scheiben schneiden. In einer großen Schüssel mit dem Zitronensaft und dem Zucker vermischen und dann abgedeckt für etwa 30 Minuten stehen lassen.

    3. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Zwei Backbleche mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Die Hälfte des Teiges auf einer bemehlten Fläche dünn ausrollen. Den Rest des Teiges ebenfalls dünn ausrollen und in Streifen schneiden.

    4. Die Äpfel abropfen lassen und dann mit dem braunen Zucker und Piment vermischen. Die Apfelmischung auf dem Teig verteilen und flachdrücken, damit eine gleichmäßige Schicht entsteht. Das Dulce de leche darauf verstreichen und dann mit den Teigstreifen ein Gittermuster auflegen. Mit einem runden Ausstecher (ca. 7,7cm/3 inches) Cookies ausstechen und auf die Backbleche setzen, mit braunem Zucker bestreuen und dann für 22-26 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und erst auf den Blechen etwas abkühlen lassen, dann auf ein Kuchengitter legen und komplett auskühlen lassen.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
