3 Ingredient Healthy Apple Cookies

3 Ingredient Healthy Apple Cookies

 

Who doesn't love to bite into a fresh crisp apple? Crunchy, sweet, tart, juicy...it checks all the boxes. Really, what could be better?

We know what's better...put that apple in a cookie with no starch and no added sugar! In fact, there are just 3 simple ingredients in this cookie recipe we found from powerhungry.com

Apples are naturally sweet and naturally high in fiber (especially because we are leaving the skins on!)

And because we are avoiding added sugars and starches, our gut will be happy and our skin will be glowing! 

Ingredients

  • 1 small (about 5 oz/142 g) organic sweet or tart-sweet apple
  • 1 cup (112 g) blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt (optional, but highly recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. If leaving skin on, scrub apple well. Otherwise, peel the apple.
  3. Core and cut apple into chunks; process in a food processor, stopping to scrape down sides, until pureed (mixture will look like raw apple sauce). Measure 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the puree.
  4. Place the almond flour in a medium bowl. Add the 1/2 cup (125 mL) apple puree, cinnamon and (optional) salt. Stir until completely blended.
  5. Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop dough in 12 mounds, spacing 2 inches apart, on prepared cookie sheet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown and centers of cookies feel firm to the touch. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and cool completely.

Notes 

Storage: Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at (cool) room temperature for 2 days, the refrigerator for 5 days, or the freezer for up to 3 months.

Apple Tips: In order for this recipe to work well, it is important to (1) use a sweet or tart-sweet apple. For example, red-delicious, gala, Macintosh, or Braeburn; (2) Process the apple very finely, to the point where the juices are releasing. It should look like raw apple sauce (see photo); be sure to measure the amount of apple after pureeing. Do not use more than the 1/2 cup that is called for in the recipe (i.e., do not just go by general size of the apple).
