WHAT YOU WILL NEED 

First, add all the cookie dough dry ingredients (almond flour, tapioca flour, sugar, and baking powder) to a bowl and stir.

STEP 1

Then, add the pumpkin purée and vanilla extract and mix it with your hands until a dough forms.

STEP 2

Roll the dough into a ball and wrap it in clingfilm to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. This allows the dough to firm up and become easier to work with.

STEP 3

Meanwhile, finely dice the apples, and add all the apple pie filling ingredients to a saucepan.

STEP 4

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for about 3 minutes.

STEP 5

Divide the chilled cookie dough into 9 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Then, evenly spread them across the prepared tray, with space in between.

STEP 6

Press an indent into each of the cookie dough balls and use your fingers to gently widen it until the cookie is entirely bowl-like, with a small lip around the edge.

STEP 7

Divide the apple pie filling between the cookies and then transfer them to the oven for 15-20 minutes. Once ready, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack.
