(Low sodium)
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 can (20 ounces) Apple pie filling
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together margarine, sugar, vanilla and egg until
thoroughly combined. Add flour mixture, stirring until combined. Cover and
refrigerate about 1 hour.
While dough is chilling, place pie filling in a small bowl. With knife, cut
apple slices into small pieces. Stir in pie spice. Set aside.
Roll half of dough on floured surface to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch
circles. Place on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Portion 1 tablespoon
filling in center of each cookie. Cut 1-inch hole in center of remaining
cookies. Place over apple filling on cookies, pressing edges slightly. Continue
with remaining dough and apple filling.
Bake at 375 degrees about 12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and
cookies are set. Cool on baking sheets. Dust with powdered sugar before serving,
if desired. Makes 32 cookies, 3 1/2-inches in diameter.
