These aplle crisp cookie cups combine classicoatmeal cookies with homemade appe pie filling for perfect comfort food !!

The apple pie filling is really easy too — chop up some apples, throw them into a pot with some ingredients and cook until tender. You’ll want to cool the cookies and the apple pie filling completely before assembly. I made both the day before, but you could make them all in the same day as long as everything cools.

INGREDIENTS
Apple Pie Filling:

• 6 cups Granny Smith apples 4-5 apples, peeled and chopped
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• pinch ground nutmeg
• pinch salt
• 2 cups water

Oatmeal Cookie Cups:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
• 1 cup light brown sugar packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs room temperature
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 3 cups rolled oats

Sugar Glaze:

INSTRUCTIONS
Apple Pie Filling:

1. Toss apples and lemon juice in a medium bowl, set aside.

Oatmeal Cookie Cups:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars on med-high until pale and fluffy (approx. 3 minutes).
3. Add eggs one at a time, fully incorporating after each addition, and beat on high for 1 minute. Add vanilla.
4. Turn mixer to low and add flour mixture, mix until combined. Add oats and mix until just combined.
5. Spray 2 regular sized muffin tins with cooking spray. Using a large cookie scoop (3 Tbsp) scoop dough into muffin tins, press down and push up the sides to create cups.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake cookie cups for approx. 15mins or until browned and mostly set.
7. Remove from oven and (if needed) immediately use a small jar or container to press firmly down in the center to create a well. Cool in pans for 15mins, then place on wire rack to cool completely.
