Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 1 cup rolled oats
Instructions
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 powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce and light brown sugar. Stir together until well mixed.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the applesauce mixture and blend until smooth.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
Gently fold in the finely chopped apple and rolled oats until evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low-fat chewy apple cookies as a sweet and healthy snack!
