Enter these cookies—just 2 apples and about 10 minutes later, you’ve got warm, soft little bites of apple goodness that practically melt in your mouth. They’re my go-to treat when I want to feel a little cozy and indulgent without the fuss. The smell of cinnamon and fresh apples fills the air, and honestly? It’s like a mini celebration every time. Plus, they’re soft, chewy, and ready faster than you can say “dessert.” Let me show you how to whip these up because once you try them, you’ll want to make them every single day!
Quick Facts
- Yield: About 12 cookies
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 8 minutes
- Total Time: 13 minutes
Ingredients
For the Main Dish:
- 2 medium apples, peeled and finely chopped (about 1 ½ cups)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
How I Make It
Step 1:
First, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. While that’s warming up, peel and finely chop your apples. You want them in small, soft pieces that will bake evenly throughout the cookie.
Step 2:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar. The cinnamon really gives it that cozy warmth that pairs perfectly with the apples.
Step 3:
In another bowl, mix the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir until just combined—don’t overmix, or the cookies will get tough.
Step 4:
Fold in those chopped apples gently but thoroughly. You’ll see little bursts of apple peeking through the dough, which is exactly what you want.
Step 5:
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each, because they will spread a little but stay tender and soft.
Step 6:
Bake for about 7–8 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. The insides will still be soft—that’s the magic! Let them cool slightly on the pan before digging in (if you can wait that long).
Variations & Tips
- Add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans for a nice crunch.
- Swap the brown sugar for coconut sugar if you want a hint of caramel flavor.
- Use granny smith apples for a tangier bite or fuji apples for sweetness.
- Mix in a handful of raisins or chocolate chips for extra texture and surprise sweetness.
- If dough feels too sticky, pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking.
How I Like to Serve It
I love enjoying these cookies warm with a cup of hot tea or coffee, especially on crisp fall afternoons. Serve them alongside vanilla ice cream for a simple yet delightful dessert, or pack a few in your kid’s lunchbox for a sweet surprise. They’re perfect for a quick breakfast treat too!
Notes
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for that fresh-baked warmth.
Closing: Honestly, these cookies come together so fast and taste so comforting that they always feel like a little kitchen win—perfect anytime you want a quick sweet fix with a homemade touch.
