Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and sea salt.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
Fold in the diced apple and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed in the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten the dough balls with your fingers or a spoon to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are set and lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these Paleo Chewy Apple Cookies as a snack or a healthy dessert!
