There's only thing more American than apple pie: apple pie cookies! What could be more American than combining two beloved traditions into one luscious bite?

Ingredients

1 package Pillsbury™ Refrigerated Pie Crusts
1 jar caramel sauce
1 can apple pie filling
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ flour for sprinkling

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
Sprinkle a little flour on a clean work surface. Roll out the dough just a teensy-weensy bit to slightly increase the surface area. (You don't want it too thin).
Spread a thin film of caramel sauce over the crust.
Chop up the apple pie pieces so they're smaller. Spread some of the apple pie mixture over the caramel sauce. Don't use quite the whole can.
Sprinkle a little flour on your clean work surface and again, you know the routine ;just roll the dough out very slightly. Use either a pastry cutter or a knife to cut a bunch of strips about 1/2 inch wide.
Using the strips, make a lattice over the top of the pie.
Get out a round cookie cutter and cut out the caramel apple pie cookies. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, you should end up with a dozen. Use a thin spatula to carefully transfer the cookies over to a non-stick baking sheet.
Brush a little of the egg across the strips on the cookies. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
And don't forget to bake up all those luscious leftover scraps, too!

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
