Apple Pie Oatmeal Cookies
These soft and thick cinnamon apple pie oatmeal cookies taste like Fall in every bite! Loaded with fresh apples, warm spices, and topped with a maple glaze, they’re made with almond flour and are gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. The perfect healthy treat!
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- ½ cup (70g) coconut sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (200g) old fashion rolled oats, gluten-free or regular
- 1 cup (112g) super-fine almond flour, spooned and leveled
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅓ cup diced red apple, skinless (¼ inch pieces or smaller)
- ⅓ cup walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped
Maple Icing:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon almond milk or water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg.
- Add in unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix with a spatula until fully combined.
- Add in rolled oats, almond flour, and baking soda. Gently mix with a spatula until fully combined.
- Add in apple pieces and chopped nut of choice.
- Using your hands or a cookie dough scooper, form 18 – 20 balls (about 2 Tablespoons each) and evenly space them across the two lined baking sheets. Gently press down to form a cookie shape (these cookies will not spread a lot).
- Bake for 13 – 15 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the sheets for 5 - 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, prepare icing in a small bowl. Once cookies are cooled, use a fork to drizzle icing across cookies.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Unsweetened Applesauce: substitute with sweetened applesauce if needed.
Coconut Oil: substitute with melted butter or vegan butter if needed.
Red Apple: I used honey crisp, but you can use your favorite kind or a green granny smith.
Coconut Sugar: substitute with light brown sugar 1 for 1.
* Apple cubes cannot be too big, or else cookies will fall apart.
