    This soft and easy gluten free apple spice cookies recipe is made with brown sugar and cinnamon. They make it simple to have a chewy, delicious cookie loaded with apples and flavor. 

    I've been making batch after batch of these cookies using the apples from our trees. They are spicy, chewy and delicious. They are the perfect way to use up the abundance of apples we have this year.

    How long will apple cookies last?

    These cookies will last about a week in an air tight container. You can store them on the counter or in the refrigerator. You can also freeze these cookies in a freezer safe container for up to a month.

    I like to freeze a few cookies in each container so I can take them out and add them to lunches. They are great to have in case I haven't planned ahead with something else. I also like to double the batch so we can eat half and freeze half.

    How do I make apple cookies?

    These cookies are really simple to make! First, peel, core and chopped your large apple and set aside. Then, combine the packed brown sugar, softened unsalted butter and large egg in the bowl of your mixer. Next, add the gluten free flour, xanthum gum, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, sea salt and baking soda.

    Blend the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients just until there aren't any dry ingredients visible. Add in the chopped apple and mix just until the apple bits are mixed in. From here you will scoop the dough onto baking sheets and bake.

      I made these cookies for a birthday party and i substituted the eggs with bananas and butter with a vegan butter for my vegan family members. I was fortunate enough to be able to eat 2 before the rest was consumed by everyone else. It was a bigger hit then the cake! I cant wait to make these again but with eggs.Though with using the banana it still came out great.
