Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine almond flour, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir until well incorporated.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

Step 5

Fold in the finely diced apple pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Gently flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon to achieve your desired shape and thickness.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies feel firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy these apple spice almond cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
