I definitely think I’m most creative<\/del> with new tasty treat ideas when I’m hungry aka I let my inner chunky kid fly<\/del>, and especially by the end of the week.  I mean, by the end of the week, pies, cupcakes, cheesy savory dips are just about all that is encompassing my brain, you know, as I sit there and eat my grilled chicken and broccoli sigh<\/del>.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Though the cravings maybe in full force, they definitely get the creative juices flowing for something new and tasty.  It was in one of my delicious daydreams that these beautiful little tassies were born.  I definitely wanted to put cream cheese and apple together, and I initially thought I would make them miniature pies, buuuut with my new obsession with all things cookie cups I thought that a snickerdoodle ‘pie crust’ would be awesome.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Not only are these awesome but super easy to make.  The filling is a brown sugar cream cheese drroool<\/del> that is then topped with apple pie filling, then I dolloped a little more cream cheese filling on top of that.  Oh my, y’all these taste just like an apple pie but slightly more decadent.  These are definitely a new favorite of my family’s and they were more than happy to take most<\/del> some of these off of my hands.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

Start with your cookie dough mix…<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/strong>Now add your egg…<\/p>\n

<\/a>Now add your melted butter and water…<\/p>\n

<\/a>Now mix, mix, mix…<\/p>\n

<\/a>Roll your dough into balls then roll into the cinnamon\/sugar…<\/p>\n

<\/a>Then place into your tins and lightly press an indentation in the middle with your thumb…<\/p>\n

<\/a>Then bake them up…<\/p>\n

<\/a>Once out of the oven and still warm, take a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon and press in the middle to make a cup, then set aside to cool…<\/p>\n

<\/a>Now time to make the delicious cream cheese filling, start with your butter…<\/p>\n

<\/a>Cream the butter, then add your cream cheese…<\/p>\n

<\/a>Mix these lovelies together, look how delicious…<\/p>\n

<\/a>Then add your brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon…<\/p>\n

<\/a>Mix together and voila, brown sugar cream cheese awesomeness…<\/p>\n

<\/a>After your cookie cups have cooled completely, place your cream cheese in your cups (I used a piping bag) then spoon some apple pie filling on top of that…<\/p>\n

<\/a>Then enjoy…I also highly recommend drizzling a little caramel sauce on top, you know, just because…<\/p>\n

<\/a>Sooo good…<\/p>\n

<\/a>Yummers…<\/p>\n
