Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 2 regular size (12 cup) muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.
Roll each sugar cookie into a ball and place into the muffin tin. Using a tart shaper dipped in flour, or the back of a spoon, gently press the dough into the pan and onto the sides. Do not press too hard so the bottom is thin and keep the sides higher than the bottom to create an edge on the crust.

Once all muffin tins are full, bake for 10-13 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and use a tart shaper or back of a spoon to gently press the crust so the divot in the center is more pronounced. Let stand to cool completely before removing from pan and placing onto a wire rack.
Using a knife or edge of a spoon, cut pie filling into smaller pieces and spoon on top of each pie cookie. Add caramel topping to a resealable bag and seal shut. Snip the tip of the bag and drizzle caramel on top of the pie cookie.

Notes
I used a thicker, gourmet caramel topping for a better drizzle.
Refrigerating the pie filling can improve the swirl.
Use room temperature caramel for easier drizzling. Do not heat it.
