For a richer flavor, use natural peanut butter with only peanuts and salt as ingredients. Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture and nutty flavor. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator due to the fresh apples. They will stay fresh for up to 5 days. For a vegan option, substitute the eggs with flax eggs (3 tablespoons of flaxseed meal mixed with 9 tablespoons of water, let sit for 5 minutes to thicken). Feel free to experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a unique twist.

Jun 24, 2025I was looking for a recipe that used up my leftover applesauce, and this was perfect! The cookies are moist and delicious.

Jun 12, 2025I found that the cookies were a bit too soft for my liking, so I added an extra 1/4 cup of flour. They held their shape much better after that.

May 16, 2025These are great, but they definitely need to be refrigerated, as the recipe suggests. They got a little mushy when I left them out at room temperature.
