Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Base
  • 2 cups oats a hearty base that adds a chewy texture.
  • 1 cup almond flour this nutty flour keeps the cookies moist and gluten-free.
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar a natural sweetener that perfectly balances the flavors.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce replaces eggs while adding moisture and a hint of apple flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder helps these cookies rise for that perfect chewy bite.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon brings warmth and enhances the apple pie essence.
For the Apple Filling
  • 2 cups diced apples fresh or tart varieties add a juicy bite to each cookie.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice brightens up the apple flavor and prevents browning.
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg just a pinch adds depth and a cozy spiciness to the filling.
For Optional Toppings
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans these add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor on top.
  • 1/4 cup vegan caramel sauce drizzle it on for an indulgent finishing touch that pairs beautifully with apples.
