Tasty Tuesday Treat #58


From the perfect porch pumpkins to the abundance of apples lining the kitchen counter, fall has officially taken over my home's decor.  In an effort to match my seasonal spangle, my culinary creations have gone autumnal as well.  Such was the case with this batch of Apple Pie Short Bread Cookies.

To make this treat, I used this simple recipe, but revamped it slightly.  I did this by adding a dash of ground cinnamon and a dash of almond extract to the other 3 ingredients.  As the cookies baked, I blended 1 cup of apple pie filling and mixed in 1/8 cup of chopped pecans.  Just as the cookies were nearing the end of their baking time, I brushed them with the apple mixture and allowed them to finish their time in the oven with the sweet filling.  

Once the cookies had cooled slightly, I stacked the shortbread and created an apple-licious sweet!
