Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 21 ounces (595 grams) canned apple pie filling
- 17.5 ounces (496 grams) Krusteaz Snickerdoodle cookie mix
- 1 egg, beaten
Butter and Dairy:
- ½ cup (113 grams) butter, room temperature
Glaze:
- ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (mix to desired consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F and coating an 8×8 baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Create the snickerdoodle cookie base by thoroughly blending the cookie mix, egg, and melted butter until a cohesive dough forms.
- Carefully distribute approximately two-thirds of the cookie dough across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even, compact layer.
- Generously spread the apple pie filling over the cookie dough base, covering the entire surface.
- Crumble and scatter the remaining cookie dough across the apple filling, creating a rustic, uneven topping.
- Enhance the dessert’s flavor profile by evenly sprinkling the reserved cinnamon and sugar mixture over the entire surface.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the filling bubbles slightly.
- Remove from the oven and allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking it in a small bowl, gradually adding milk until achieving a smooth, drizzle-friendly consistency.
- Once cooled, elegantly drizzle the glaze over the dessert and slice into delectable squares for serving.
Notes
- Easily transform a classic cookie mix into a delightful dessert that combines the warmth of snickerdoodles with the comforting flavors of apple pie.
- Use an 8×8 baking dish to create perfectly portioned, gooey squares that blend crispy cookie edges with soft, sweet apple filling.
- Work with room temperature ingredients to ensure the dough is easy to spread and creates a uniform base for the pie filling.
- Layer the dough strategically, covering the apple filling partially to create a rustic, peek-a-boo effect that’s visually appealing and deliciously textured.
- Cooling completely before adding the glaze prevents the topping from becoming runny and ensures a beautiful, drizzled finish.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain the dessert’s soft, chewy texture.
