Ingredients
  

  • 2 Refrigerated pie crusts
  • 3 tbsp Butter Unsalted
  • 2 Medium Apples Peeled and diced
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon Water
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • ½ cup Powdered sugar
  • 3 Tbsp Heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
  • Combine 2 diced apples and 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan. Heat on medium until butter has melted (about 5 minutes)
  • Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and ½ cup of brown sugar. Heat another 5-10 minutes or until apples are tender.
  • In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons or water and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
  • Add cornstarch mixture to apples and stir for a minute. Set aside to cool.
  • Unroll one pie crust and use a 3 inch cookie cutter to cut 12-14 circles out of it.
  • Unroll second pie crust and slice into ¼ inch strips with a knife or pizza cutter.
  • Lay half the strips out vertically about ½ inch apart.
  • Flip every other stop up and lay one stop perpendicular at the top of the vertical strips.
  • Place another perpendicular strip about half inch down from the first one and then flip all the strips back down.
  • Continue this until all strips are woven into the lattice
  • Gently press the strips together.
  • Use the 3 inch cookie cutter to cut the lattice into circles.
  • Place one tablespoon of apple filling in the center of each whole round.
  • Place one lattice circle on top of each cookie and use a fork to press the two pieces together around the edges.
  • Bake the cookies for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • In a small bowl, combine ½ cup powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons heavy cream to make the icing
  • Drizzle icing over each cookie once they have cooled.

Notes

Tips + Variations 
  • You can use store-bought pie filling. And you can change up the flavor by using cherry, peach or any other kind you like.
  • Try different toppings like vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Don't overfill the cookies or the filling will spill out.
  • Make sure to seal the edges with a fork to keep the cookies held together well.
Storage 
These cookies can be kept for 3-5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Or they can be frozen and kept in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to a year.
