I absolutely love a good cookie recipe. That being said, I have a few favorites in my recipe collection that are my go-to cookies whenever I want something sweet or need a special treat for an event.

Even though I have my favorites, many of which I’ve been making for years, I’m always up to try something new and I’m glad I am. I found these caramel apple and peanut butter pie cookies recently and I have to say, they are definitely among my favorites now.

Not only are these really easy to make, they’re absolutely filled with flavor. They’re perfect for fall with their caramel apple flavor. What’s really great is that they only take about half an hour to prepare and your family is definitely going to love them. I know mine does.

They’re made with pie crust, peanut butter, caramel candies, apples…need I go on? Everything that you love in a fall dessert is all wrapped up into a delicious little cookie! Oh, and if you haven’t yet tried these amazing chocolate chip cookies, I suggest you do so. They’re also filled with yummy flavor.

These cookies honestly look like little mini apple pies and they’re so decorative! You can definitely take these to any homecoming or family get-together and garner a bit of praise. They’re delicious and the perfect complement to any meal – or just have them on hand for a quick snack. Maybe put a little homemade vanilla ice cream on top? However you eat them, you’re going to love how easy they are to make.

My family just can’t get enough of them and I really don’t mind making them since they take so little time. Oh, and my kids love them as much as they do these Oreo cheesecake bites.

So, if you want a relatively quick and easy recipe that is chocked full of delicious fall flavors, these caramel apple and peanut butter pie cookies are it! I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine has!
