Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the melted coconut oil and brown sugar until well combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract and applesauce into the sugar and coconut oil mixture.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the diced apple gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
