How to Make Sugar-Free Almond Apple Cookies

Step 1: Gather and prepare all ingredients.

Almond-Apple Cookie Ingredients

Step 2: Preheat oven to 350F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner and set aside.

Step 3: Wash and dry apple. Can be peeled or left intact – either way is fine. (I didn’t peel mine.) Core apple and cut into chunks.

Fresh apple chunks

Step 4: Place chunks in small food processor (affiliate link) and process until pureed – stopping and scraping the sides as needed. (Puree should resemble raw apple sauce.) 

Making apple puree

Step 5: In a medium bowl, add the almond flour. Stir in 1/2 cup of the pureed apple, cinnamon and salt (if using) until thoroughly mixed.

Step 6: With a small cookie scoop (affiliate link) (about 1 tablespoon), drop mounds of dough on the prepared cookie sheet – leaving at least 2 inches between cookies. Slightly flatten with thumb or back of a spoon.

Step 7: Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and centers of cookies are set. (I used my new Cuisinart Chef’s Convection Toaster Oven (affiliate link) and they came our perfectly and I didn’t have to heat up the whole kitchen for a small batch of cookies.)

Easy Almond-Apple Cookies Recipe Notes

For best tasting cookies, be sure to use a tart-sweet or sweet apple, such as Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp, Pink Ladies, Braeburn, etc.

Fresh picked apples

Be sure to process the apple until it looks like raw apple sauce and the juices are releasing. Be sure to measure the amount of apple after it has been pureed. Do not use more than the 1/2 cup that is called for in the recipe or your mixture will be too wet. 

Change up the flavor by substituting the ground cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice, ginger, or cardamom, or adding a tablespoon or two of mini chocolate chips, stirring in a bit of extract (1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract or 1/8 teaspoon of almond)

Add a little more sweetness with a couple of teaspoons of your sweetener of choice (brown sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, honey, truvia (affiliate link), etc.)
