traveling & eating: fall apple adventures & a recipe for apple cookies
Ingredients
½ cup oat flour
½ cup brown rice flour
2 tbsp tapioca flour/starch
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ cup walnut oil
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 flax egg (1 tbsp flax meal + 3 tbsp water, mix and let sit about 5 min)
1 tsp vanilla
1 small/medium red apple, unpeeled - finely diced and tossed with a bit of cinnamon and sugar
¾ cup rolled oats (quick oats would work too)
1 cup chopped walnuts
Preparation
1
Preheat oven to 375-degrees
2
In a mixing bowl combine: flours, starch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon and set aside.
3
In a second bowl combine oil, sugar, flax egg, and vanilla.
4
Pour the liquid into the dry mix and mix together until well combined. Next, add in oats, apples and walnuts and fold together.
5
On a nonstick cookie sheet, drop a heaping tablespoon of the mix. Really press the mix into your tablespoon so that it forms a nice compact ball.
6
Bake for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden.

NOTES
8
For an extra crunchy top, I like to pop them under the broiler for a minute. Since there is fresh apple in these, by nature, the cookies will get softer each day they are stored.

*If you're not gluten free or vegan, all-purpose flour and a regular egg can be used.
