Ingredients
- 2 apples, cored and diced
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 2 cups AP flour (oat flour works great too)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 Egg
- Optional: 1/4 cup grated parmesan or cheddar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350º
Set your oven racks to a central position with room to use multiple trays if you like.
Wash, core, and dice or grate the apples.
To your diced apple, add the cinnamon, vanilla, honey, and coconut oil and stir thoroughly.
Add the flours and baking powder next, stirring to combine. This will resemble a crumble more than a cookie dough, don’t be alarmed!
Add the milk and egg, and give it a final stir.
Drop small spoonfuls of cookie dough onto parchment lined cookie sheet.
You can either leave the dough in spherical form or press down lightly with a fork to create a flatter, crunchier cookie.
Bake 20 minutes, or until the tops attain some golden color and there are some crunchy bits on the edges, but the bottom isn’t too browned.
