Summer may be the time to break out the strawberries, however, for me it is all about the beautiful apples that the season can produce. Especially when it comes to the endless apple pies that get enjoyed over the sunny days! Today, I have a delicious apple filled cookie recipe for you all that will delight you for days, weeks, months and years!

Good Morning Lovelies, 

For me, the best desserts are apple, apricot or rhubarb crumbles! I do prefer the crumble topping more than the fruit though I have to admit. Covered in thick warm custard, so hot it burns your mouth, there is no dessert like it! However, in the middle of summer many people forget about them. 

Yet, I’m going to chance that, as I have a spiced apple cookie that will give the classic dessert a fresh look that can be enjoyed at every summer event. Whether it be a picnic, BBQ or summer fete, you won’t be able to stop making these lovelies…

Ingredients

One Small Apple, Peeled and Grated

1/4 Cup of Plain Flour

1/2 Cup of Rolled or Quick Oats

Two Tablespoons of White or Light Brown Sugar

1/2 Teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon

A Pinch of Salt

One to Two Tablespoons of Skimmed Milk or Water

1/4 Teaspoon of Baking Powder

Tools

A Baking Tray

Greaseproof Paper

A Mixing Bowl

A Mixing Spoon

Method

1. Start by preheating your oven to 180°C/350°F, before lining your baking tray with greaseproof paper. 
2. Taking your mixing bowl, stir the grated apple, sugar and cinnamon together. 
3. Add in the oats, flour, baking powder and salt, before mixing until well combined. 
4. Once combined, add in the milk or water and stir again. You can add in more milk or water if it is a little dry but don’t let the dough become too wet. 
5. Using your mixing spoon, place small moulds into the tray before flattening them lightly. 
6. Place into the oven and bake for around 12 to 15 minutes or until golden and firm around the edges and on top. 
7. When ready, remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes. 

These apple crumble inspired cookies are a true joy to behold! Perfect hot or cold, they go well with ice cream, milk and even dipped in custard! The possibilities are endless!
