Ingredients

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, and diced into small pieces
¾ cup water
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoon cornstarch
1 ½ teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 box Pillsbury™ refrigerated pie crust
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons coarse sugar, optional

Instructions

In a medium saucepan over low heat, bring water, cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice to a boil, stirring constantly.
Continue stirring for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens up.
Add apple pieces to the saucepan, stir and let simmer for 8-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool
Preheat the oven to 375° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll pie crust out smoothly.
Spread cooled apple mixture over pie crust in an even layer.
Roll the second pie crust out on a lightly floured surface and slice pie crust into thin strips.
Place the strips in a lattice pattern over the top of the apple filling.
Using a round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter, cut out “cookies” and place on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk egg and water together. Brush egg wash over the top of the cookies and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown.
