Ingredients
Scale
- 17.5 oz (496 g) Krusteaz Snickerdoodle cookie mix
- 21 oz (595 g) canned apple pie filling
- ½ cup (113 g) butter, room temperature
- 1 egg, beaten
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsps milk (mix to desired consistency)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F and thoroughly coat an 8×8 baking dish with non-stick spray, creating a smooth surface for the dessert.
- Cookie Base Formation: Combine cookie mix, egg, and melted butter, mixing vigorously until a uniform dough emerges, ensuring no dry ingredients remain.
- Base Layer Construction: Press two-thirds of the cookie dough into the prepared dish, creating a compact, even foundation that covers the entire bottom surface.
- Filling Distribution: Spread apple pie filling uniformly across the cookie base, reaching all corners of the baking dish to guarantee consistent flavor in every bite.
- Topping Creation: Artfully crumble the remaining cookie dough over the apple filling, generating a rustic, textured landscape that promises delightful textural contrast.
- Flavor Enhancement: Liberally dust the entire surface with reserved cinnamon and sugar mixture, ensuring an aromatic and sweet finishing touch.
- Baking Process: Carefully position the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and gently bubbling filling that signals perfect doneness.
- Cooling and Finishing: Remove from oven and allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature, letting flavors meld and settle.
- Glaze Preparation: Whisk glaze ingredients, gradually incorporating milk until achieving a silky, pourable consistency ideal for delicate drizzling.
- Serving Presentation: Once fully cooled, elegantly drizzle glaze over the dessert and slice into tempting squares, ready to delight eager taste buds.
Notes
- Prep with Precision: Ensure cookie dough is evenly spread to create a uniform base that supports the apple filling without cracking or breaking.
- Temperature Tip: Check doneness by watching for golden-brown edges and bubbling filling, which indicates the pie is perfectly baked and not overdone.
- Cooling Crucial: Allow the dessert to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and ensure a beautiful, smooth finish.
- Texture Balance: Crumble cookie dough loosely on top to create a rustic, textured layer that adds crunch and visual appeal to the dessert.
