Apple Pie Oreo Cookies 🍎🍪

If you’re craving the flavors of fall but want something more fun than a traditional apple pie, these Apple Pie Oreo Cookies are the perfect treat. They’re soft, chewy, and packed with warm cinnamon, real apple pieces, and the nostalgic crunch of Apple Pie Oreos. Think of them as the best of both worlds — apple pie and cookies — wrapped into one cozy dessert that’s perfect for autumn gatherings, bake sales, or a simple weekend baking project.

Prep & Cook Time

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Servings: About 6 large cookies

Ingredients

¼ cup (55 g) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
¼ cup (50 g) white sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp (30 g) applesauce
1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour (add up to 1 ¼ cups / 150 g if dough feels too wet)
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
½ cup (about 5–6 cookies / 60 g) crushed Apple Pie Oreos
¼ cup (70 g) finely diced apple (sautéed in a little butter + cinnamon, then cooled)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet, sauté diced apple with a touch of butter and cinnamon for 2–3 minutes, until slightly softened. Let cool.
In a mixing bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy.
Beat in the egg, vanilla, and applesauce.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Slowly mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the crushed Apple Pie Oreos and cooled apple pieces.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake 10–13 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers are soft.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
