These Apple Pie Snickerdoodles combine the warm, comforting flavors of apple pie with the cinnamon-sugar goodness of snickerdoodles! Soft, chewy, and filled with a sweet apple filling, these cookies are the perfect treat for fall.

Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Apple Filling:
    • 1 cup (243 g) apple pie filling, finely chopped (homemade or canned)

    For the Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough:

    • 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs, room temperature
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 2 ¾ cups (352 g) all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

    For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

    • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
    • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a stand mixer, beat softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will give your cookies a soft, chewy texture.
  • Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and kosher salt. Mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  • Form the Cookies: Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it slightly, and place a small spoonful of apple filling in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling to form a ball.
  • Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: In a separate bowl, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  • Bake to Perfection: Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 14–16 minutes or until golden at the edges. Let cool for a few minutes on the sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For a homemade apple filling, cook diced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and a little lemon juice until soft and syrupy.
  • Ensure the apple filling is chopped finely to avoid dough from being unevenly filled.
