Caramel Apple Cookie Pie

Good Afternoon! Yesterday I got busy in the kitchen with a another festive, fall recipe. Have you seen these new Pillsbury Caramel Apple mixes at the store? I thought it was time to give this a whirl! This is a modified version of the cookie pie recipe that was on the back of the box. They also have cake mixes of this stuff that you could probably do a lot with, too! I actually haven't tasted this yet but it looked pretty great and it smelled awesome after it came out of the oven!! Yay for October baking!!

CARAMEL APPLE COOKIE PIE

What you need to make the pie:
1 package Pillsbury Caramel Apple Flavored Cookie Mix
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water
2 cups chopped tart apples (I used Granny Smith)
2 heaping tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon instant oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional:
1 tablespoon melted butter mixed with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1/3 cup Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Caramel Apple Frosting

To make the pie:
1. Heat your oven to 375 degrees F. 
2. Grease a 9 inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray or Crisco.
3. Stir cookie mix with oil, egg and water in a large bowl until combined. Divide the dough in half.
 4. Press one half of the cookie dough into the bottom of the greased pie plate.
5. In a small bowl, mix your apples with the brown sugar, oats and cinnamon.
6. Flatten the remaining piece of dough on a sheet of wax paper to the same size as your 9 inch pie plate. (I just put the wax paper on top of the dough already pushed in the pie plate to get a similar size.)
 7. Spread the apple mixture on the base layer of the cookie with about 1/3inch remaining on the sides.
8. Invert your second, round piece of cookie dough on top of the apple mixture and seal the edges of the cookies together. Cut several slits in the top of the dough.
9. I then topped the cookie with the brown sugar/butter mixture in small drops all over.
10. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden brown.
11. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes.

12. In a small ziploc bag, place about 1/3 cup of the frosting and microwave for 7-10 seconds. Cut a small opening in the corner of the bag and drizzle frosting on the top of the cookie.

14. Cut and ENJOY!!
