As some of you may know every year Appliance World hosts a partner event to say Thank you and show our trade partners how much we truly appreciate them, this years theme was celebrate America. We did All sorts of regional cooking And what is more American than Apple Pie. Of course I made Apple Pies and I will post my recipe for that as well but I thought Caramel Apple Pie cookies were a creative, bite size, and fun little dessert. They can be as easy or as intricate to make as you want, I am posting the easier version for those of us who are to busy to make everything from scratch, however, I will post my pie dough recipe and apple pie filling for those who have a bit more time to play in the kitchen. So I started by preheating Dacor Wall oven to 350 degrees on pure convection, while that was getting to temperature I lined my cookie sheets with parchment paper so I have less to clean up later. I lightly sprinkled my work space with flour and gently rolled out my pie dough’s. Once they were rolled up I used a pizza cutter to cut ½” strips that I would use to create the lattice top, then I spread caramel over the other pie dough and put my apple pie filling on top. I then created a lattice top with the strips of pie dough I had already cut. At this point it looked like one big flat apple pie, I took a round cookie cutter and cut them out and placed them on my cookie sheets to be baked off. I had some scraps so I placed those onto cookie sheets as well. Before I was ready to put them in the oven I lightly brushed them with an egg wash and sprinkled the cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar mixture over top. I then put them in the Dacor wall oven for about 25 minutes. I used that time to clean up and keep my mind off the delicious aroma of apples, caramel, and cinnamon that filled the air. I pulled them out of the oven and let them cool slightly before I put them on a platter to serve for the event. Everyone seemed to love them, delicious and cute, what could be better!
Yours truly,
Chef in training
