    Nothing screams fall more than apple picking and apple recipes! Here is a list of my favorite recipes that are perfect to cozy up with anytime of the year!

    a tray of apple rose puff pastries

    I feel so lucky to be surrounded by 3 apple orchards in my little New England town and fall apple picking is a annual tradition. One of the first things requested for me to make is apple crisp in my house.

    If you need ideas for your own apple picking haul or if you are just craving the fall spice flavors, we have you covered with anything from homemade apple butter and apple muffins to cakes like this applesauce cake or french apple cake to dinner recipes like this apple pork tenderloin and sheet pan chicken with apples and sweet potatoes. Apples also add delicious crunch to salads like our shaved brussels sprouts salad and this chicken salad.

    Author: Sherri Hagymas

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups old fashioned oats
    • ¾ cup all purpose flour or gluten free one-to-one
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup applesauce unsweetened
    • ½ cup butter room temperature
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ⅔ cup brown sugar or white sugar, honey, maple syrup
    • 1 medium apple peeled and finely diced

    Instructions

    • In a medium skillet, melt one tablespoon of the butter and add the diced apples. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes until apples get a little soft.
    • In a medium bowl, mix the oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together.
    • In a separate large bowl, beat the remaining butter, applesauce, brown sugar and vanilla extract together.
    • Add in the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until just blended.
    • Fold in the diced cooked apple.
    • Place in the refrigerator and chill for 10 minutes.
    • Preheat the oven to 350° F
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or line with a silicone mat.
    • Drop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet and flatten slightly.
    • Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown
    • Cool on the pan for about 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Notes

    For gluten-free cookies use a gluten-free all purpose flour and make sure oats are certified gluten-free.
    Substitute a pre-made apple pie spice blend for convenience and the added hint of ginger and nutmeg.
    Use one large egg in place of the applesauce or substitute with a “flax egg” which is a mixture of flax seed and water.
    Granny Smith apples will also work in place of the red apples to give it a bit more of a tart flavor.
    Swap the real butter for vegan butter if preferred.
    Nutritional information includes brown sugar.
