• Top the caramel layer with a layer of the chopped up Apple Pie Filling, making sure not to add too much pie filling.
• Roll out the second sheet of Pie Crust the same size as the first sheet, and slice it into strips.
• Create a lattice crust (just like on a pie) for the top of the pie filling...DON'T create the lattice on the counter, it's not fun getting it on top of the bottom crust.ugh! Create your lattice on top of the actual filling, as if it were a pie! If you want, you can skip this and just place circles of pie crust over the cookies and prick holes in them, sealing with a fork.
• Dip your cookie cutter into some egg wash and cut out your Pie Cookies.
• Brush the tops of them with some egg wash and sprinkle them with the Cinnamon Sugar and Nutmeg. Make sure the edges are sealed as well as you can(the cookie cutter through both layers is what seals them! ).

• Pour a glass of cold Milk and grab a warm one, or 5. Open up and bite into the juiciest, chewiest, fruitiest Apple Pie Cookie ever.

With the motor running, add vinegar and 1/4 cup ice water and process until dough just comes together, about 30 seconds. Squeeze a small amount of dough between your fingertips; if it's very crumbly, add more ice water, 1 Tbsp. at a time (2 Tbsp. maximum). Do not overprocess.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and form into a rough ball. Knead a few times to combine, then divide into 2 equal balls. Flatten each ball into a disc with smooth edges and no cracks. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Make the filling:
• Peel, core, and slice apples into 1/4"-thick slices. Coarsely chop slices. Transfer to a large pot and add brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, 2 tsp. flour, and 2 Tbsp. water; stir to combine.

• Roll second disc of dough to an 1/8"-thick round about 13" in diameter. Using 3" cutter, cut into 12 more rounds. Using leaf-shaped cutter, cut a hole in center of each round.
• Brush edges of rounds with apple filling with egg wash. Place cut-out rounds over filled rounds to create sandwiches, then press down lightly around edges to seal completely. Gently press down in center to even out filling.
• Brush top of sandwiches with egg wash and sprinkle with demerara sugar, if using.

ZU'S FRIED APPLE PIES

Steps:

• Place the apples into a saucepan with the sugar and cinnamon, and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook the apples, stirring frequently, until soft, about 10 minutes; mash the apples with a fork to form a chunky applesauce. Set the apple filling aside.
• Whisk flour and salt together in a bowl, and cut in the shortening with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until the dough is moistened, and knead several times just until dough holds together. Place dough onto a floured surface, pat into a round, and roll out 1/8-inch thick. Use a large round cookie cutter (4 inches in diameter) to cut the dough into 8 rounds.
• Place a heaping tablespoon of apple filling onto the center of a dough round, and use your finger to moisten the edge of the crust with cold water. Fold the dough over the filling, and crimp the edges with a fork to make a half-moon-shaped pie. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
• Pour the oil into a skillet over medium-high heat, and gently lay 2 or 3 pies into the hot oil. Fry to a golden brown color, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain the pies on paper towels. Sprinkle a pinch of confectioners' sugar over each pie to serve. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
