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.

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.)

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

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.

Change up the flavor by substituting the ground cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice, ginger, or cardamom.
