Notes
Tips
These cookies will last 2-3 days in an air-tight container on the bench, you can freeze these apple cookies for 3-4 months. Choose a firm sweet eating apple such as Jazz, Sweet Tango, or Pink Lady, these apples will hold their shape when baked. A cooking apple like granny smith becomes too soft in this cookie recipe.Ingredient Notes and Substitutes
- Apple: These are apple cookies so you can't really leave out the apple. I use a sweet firm apple like Pink Lady, Eve, Jazz, Sweet Tango.
- Apple sauce: If you don't want to use apple sauce you can substitute this for an egg
- Brown sugar: Brown sugar can be substituted for any granulated sugar.
- Quick Cook Oats: I have not tested this recipe with any substitutes for the quick cook oats.
