- move half the dough disks on the cookie sheet and add a spoonful of apple filling on every disk
- place the other disks on the cookie bases, lightly press the edges together with your fingers and then with a fork
- bake for 13-15 minutes on middle oven rack, until the cookies are lightly gold on top
