Easy 3 Ingredient Cinnamon Apple Thumbprint Cookies

By A Cowboy's Wife | January 9, 2017

If you’re anything like me, you’ll see these super cute little thumbprint cookies and you’re like, “oohh, those look fancy. They’re probably a lot of work.”.  Nope, they’re not!  And with this simple 3 ingredient, Cinnamon Apple Thumbprint Cookie recipe, it will really be a breeze!

I LOVE apples.  I’m not even joking.  Fuji apples (so so sweet!) are amazing as a snack but I keep the small red apples in our home mostly because they aren’t as sweet and go great with peanut butter, which is usually what I eat for breakfast.  It’s my morning serving of fiber and protein!

While I’m sure we’d all love to make everything from scratch, we don’t always have the time.  That’s okay! We can still make something amazing and this cookie recipe is the perfect example of how! Since many of us don’t have time to cut up and cook apples, apple filling is the next best thing!   Don’t believe me?  Try this simple cobbler recipe. It’s, by far, my most popular recipe in all 10 years that I’ve been blogging!

Don’t be ashamed of buying those packages of cookie mix either!  I use an oatmeal cookie mix for some Ranger cookies and boy are they popular! Nobody cares that it’s a packaged cookie mix y’all.    That’s what I did for these. Sugar cookie mix to the rescue!   Something that does help, though is a good Wilton cookie pan!  Seriously, unless you have original hand-me-downs from grandma, you need one like Wilton!  100% of all my baking pans are Wilton.  They are built right, last forever, and bake goodies perfectly.

With that said, it’s time to make cookies.  You’re just gonna mix up your sugar cookie mix, make an indention, scoop some pie filling into the indention, sprinkle with cinnamon, and bake. That’s it y’all!  And look how delightful they are. They taste GREAT too!
