Take 2 1/2 T rounds of cookie dough at a time and place them in each muffin well
With greased hands, press up sides so that bottom and sides are the same thickness forming a cookie cup
Bake 7-9 minutes until edges are setMeanwhile, make the apple pie filling by tossing the diced apples with lemon juice in a bowl and set aside

When cookie cups are done, remove them from oven and push down center of the cookie cup with your hands if it popped up a bit to create that cookie cup well again
