Spray your mini muffin pan lightly with pan grease and preheat the oven to 350°F

Prepare the Snickerdoodle cookie recipe as per the instructions on that post

After rolling the dough balls in cinnamon sugar place each one into the cavities of the mini muffin pan and then bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown

Once they come out of the oven and they are still hot you will press the centers of each one with a teaspoon measure to make the indent for the filling

Prepare the apple filling as per the instructions on that post and once it is ready you can immediately fill the cookie cups with the hot apple filling. **be sure to chop your apples very small ~ Only 1 Tablespoon of filling fits in each cup so the apples have to be very small diced

*The apple filling does not have to be hot, but it is OK if it is.

**You can actually make the cookie cups & the filling ahead of time and fill them when you re ready to serve.
