These soft and naturally sweet apple almond flour cookies are perfect for a wholesome treat. Made with simple ingredients and flavored with cinnamon, they offer a delicious way to enjoy the taste of fresh apples in every bite.
Ingredients
-
1 whole apple (small)
- 1/3 cup blanched almond flour
-
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
-
1/8 tsp pink Himalayan salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the apple: Scrub well if leaving the skin on, or peel it. Core and cut into small chunks.
Puree the apple: Blend the apple in a food processor until smooth, scraping the sides as needed. Measure out 1/2 cup of apple puree and set aside.
Mix the dough: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, apple puree, cinnamon, and pink Himalayan salt. Stir until fully incorporated.
Shape the cookies: Scoop small portions onto the lined baking sheet and flatten slightly.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Replacing almond flour with coconut flour in that cookie recipe requires a major change in quantity! 😬
Here is the quick substitution breakdown:
Original Amount: ⅓ cup Almond Flour
New Amount: Use only 2 to 2 ½ teaspoons of Coconut Flour.
🛑 Key Steps:
Start Small: Only add 2 teaspoons of the coconut flour initially.
Wait: Mix it in, then let the dough sit for 5 minutes. Coconut flour needs time to absorb the liquid (apple puree).
Check: If the dough is still too wet, add the remaining ½ teaspoon. Do not use the full ⅓ cup!
Good luck! 🍪
Would coconut flour work. Would the measurement be the same.
