For best results, use a high-quality apple pie filling or make your own from scratch. The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Allow it to soften slightly before rolling. If the dough becomes too sticky while rolling, lightly dust it with flour. Feel free to experiment with different spices in the dough or filling, such as nutmeg, allspice, or cloves. These cookies are delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
