Apple Pie Cookies
Ingredients
- 75 g red apple, with the peel
- ½ tsp. stevia
- 2 tsp. stevia brown sugar* + extra for topping
- 2 TBSP vegan butter or oil, melted: coconut, walnut, almond
- ⅓ C maple syrup (Lakanto, monk fruit)
- 1 ½ tsp. vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 C quick oats
- ¾ C (100 g) oat flour*
- 1 ½ tsp. baking powder
- Pinch of apple pie spice
- 1 ½ tsp. cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F
- Dice the apple to your liking – very fine, medium, or chunky*
- Combine the stevia, brown sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon in a small bowl or container, toss the diced apple in the mixture until it’s fully coated, then set aside
- In 2 separate bowls, combine the wet ingredients in one and the remaining dry ingredients in the other
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients together, then fold in the diced apple
- With a cookie scooper, spoon, or large measuring spoon, scoop ~tablespoon sized mounds of dough about 2” apart onto a greased cookie sheet
- Sprinkle the extra stevia brown sugar on top of the cookies
- Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown, let the cookies cool completely, then store in an airtight container
Notes
- *Stevia brown sugar: can also use regular brown sugar or date sugar
- *Oat flour: whole wheat or all-purpose flour will work in place of oat, though I recommend adding an extra ½ tsp. of cinnamon for taste
- *2. For a crispier, crunchier cookie, dice the apples up on the chunkier side
