Servings: 18
Equipment
- 2 baking sheets
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 3 big apples, peeled and grated (about 450–500 g / 2 to 2¼ cups grated apples)
- 3 tablespoons apple sauce
- 2 tablespoons rapeseed oil
- 50 g all purpose gluten free flour (substitute with regular all-purpose flour if not gluten-intolerant)
- 50 g buckwheat flour or brown rice flour (substitute with regular all-purpose flour if not gluten-intolerant)
- 3 tablespoons sugar*
- 100 g quick oats / instant oats (make sure they are gluten-free if you're gluten-intolerant)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon**
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 150 °C (fan) / 300 °F (convection).If using a regular oven without fan, preheat to 160 °C / 320 °F.
- In a bowl, combine grated apples, applesauce, and oil.
- In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: sugar, flours, oats, and cinnamon.
- Pour the wet mix into the dry and stir until well combined.
- Let the dough rest for about 30 minutes; this helps the oats soak up the apple flavor.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto the trays and gently flatten each one into a cookie shape.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool completely before removing from the tray; they firm up as they cool.Store your apple cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days — they stay soft and chewy!
Notes
*Swap sugar for coconut sugar for a deeper, caramel flavor.
**For extra spice, add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger.
