This is a family tradition for Thanksgiving. It seems super strange when you think about it, but the combination really works, and it is super easy. It is perfect to take to holiday parties as well. They come out looking very impressive and are unique enough to bring something different to the table. Enjoy!

I don’t know what it is about Thanksgiving and pie, but it is a tradition that seems to be common to every holiday table. As someone who enjoys decorating desserts, pie has never been a particular interest of mine since there is seems to be so few ways to change up a pie crust top. But alas, my Dad loves a good apple pie and, who I am to deny my family a pie on the pie-holiday itself. So with great trepidation, I tried my hand at Hoot Owl Apple Pie.
Now, sorry, I’m not making my pie crust from scratch here. There are only so many hours in the day, and I’m cooking most of the Turkey Day meal as well so we are going cheat a bit here and use refrigerated pie crust. Don’t worry, with a little love, we can fix it up quite nicely and, with our homemade apple filling, no one will ever know. The leaves are changing color and falling to the ground. The breeze is turning chilly and the coats are coming out. You know what that means? That's right. It's pie season, people. But what happens when you don't want to commit to a whole pie? Or you want a smaller treat guests can grab and go? Or you want something just plain cute? I introduce you to the best of both worlds combination: Pie and Cookies.
This Brown Sugar Pie Cookies recipe is super easy. Even better, you can sub the homemade brown sugar filling with your favorite jarred preserves or even a thin layer of pre-made pie filling depending on how much time and effort you want to commit! Read on for the recipe. |
