Apple Pie Cookies Recipe - Baking Time - Vegan in the Freezer (1)

How can there be so many cookie recipes? That wasn’t a question but a statement of awe.

It always blows my mind how there are new recipes popping up on the internet by cooks and bakers around the world.

Even cookies that are vegan with no eggs or dairy are endless. They look beautiful and taste even better.

I love that there are no-bake cookies now too. They are so easy and perfect for summertime.Sometimes you just don't even want to turn on the oven.

My husband is always trying to think up new recipes for me. He thinks there are only justso many.

I told him that all those notebooks I have been writing in are full of ideas, inspiration, and recipes. But, hey, bring it on. Of course, the first word out of his mouth is Vanilla.

Something like this Starbuck's copycat in the shape of vanilla dunkers. Vanilla Almond Biscotti to be more exact. The Italians got that cookie right.

My mind is so full of ideas I even have to let them go sometimes. I don’t think he believes me because he keeps being concerned.

I told him to just think of recipes like faces. How can there be so many different faces with just two eyes, a nose,and a mouth? It didn’t help.

So, here I am with a new recipe. An American inspired cookie this time around - Apple Pie Cookies, and they are good! Thank goodness you can find great apples year-round.

Ingredients for Apple Pie Cookies with Fresh Apples

  • Coconut sugar - is the perfect sweetener for these4 cookies and it's unrefined too.
  • Organic vegan shortening - blends so well with the sugar that it actually whips up.
  • Egg substitute - of your choice but I used flaxseed meal mixed with water.
  • Vanilla extract - seem to be a favorite for baked goods and there is godd reason for it. Ah, that vanilla taste.
  • Apple - is what apple pie cookies are all about. McIntosh, Granny Smith & Gala are great but use your favorite, peeled and chopped very fine or grated.
  • Granny Smith apples are in different stages of being pared in the photo above and are waiting to be chopped or grated.
  • All-purpose flour - adds a lightness to the cookie dough.
  • Whole wheat flour - just makes everything a bit healthier. I use whole wheat whenever I can.
  • Salt - is a seasoning necessity. Even just this little bit.
  • Baking powder - is the leavening agent.
  • Cinnamon/sugar mixture:
  • Sugar - is the added sweet coating.
  • Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Ginger - make all the flavors add up to an apple pie.

Oh, oh. Here come the ideas. I could do a cookie that mimics everyone's favorite pies. How about pecan pie cookies or blueberry pie cookies? Maybe I'll do that one next.

P.S. I have lots more.
