What a great looking line-up. So many recipes and so little time. Luckily apples are very hardy and will last in your refrigerator for several months so you can stock up while they are in season.
I decided to leave the peel on the apple and to shred it, using my food processor, as opposed to finely dicing as called for in the original recipe.
The dough is very moist, I used a cookie scoop and then flattened them lightly with my fingers. I ended up with 3 dozen cookies.
As with any cake like, spiced cookie these are much better on day 2 and 3. By day 4, if they last that long, you should probably place them in the freezer and defrost as needed. I didn't have that problem, they were gobbled up in no time.
Don't forget to go and enter to win one of the amazing prize packages from our generous sponsors. These are wonderful products and I would love for one of my readers to be a lucky winner.
