How To Make Shortbread Cookies With Caramelized Apples

This shortbread cookie with caramelized apples by Что Приготовить on YouTube is a quick and easy cookie recipe to follow along with that does not require many ingredients. The sizes of these cookies are perfect portion sizes, but it would be easy to eat a couple of these without feeling too heavy. This would be a great holiday cookie to make instead of traditional apple pies or chocolate chip cookies. I love how buttery shortbread cookies taste, but not a lot of people like them. I think it would be nice to add this in a batch of holiday cookies in a tin can to make a gift.

Ingredients:

Dough:

• 1 cup wheat flour 
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar 
• 1/4 butter, grated
• 1 large egg, yolk
• 1/2 tsp baking powder 

Filling:

• 1 apple
• 1/3 cup sugar 
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp lemon juice 

Directions:

First, start off by peeling and chopping the apple. Add the chopped apples to a pot with sugar and lemon juice, then stir. Put the pot onto the stove and let it simmer with butter on low heat. Continue to watch Что Приготовить tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.

Next, grease the muffin pan with butter, and add the dough crumbles at the bottom of the cup. Press down the dough firmly into the pan, and add the caramelized apple filling, and top it off with the cookie crumbles. Bake for about 20 minutes at 350F.

Overall, I love how these shortbread cookies remind me of a mini apple pie cookie. I love how the outer dough is still crumbly because shortbread cookies are my favorite. I think these would taste good to satisfy my sweet tooth throughout the day or after lunch. However, I would have this for one of my sweets after breakfast too.
