FAVORITE APPLESAUCE COOKIES (WITH OATS AND CINNAMON)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir the ingredients together in a medium bowl. The batter will be fairly thick and sticky.
• Use a 1 tablespoon spoon to portion out batter onto the prepared baking sheet, placing batter about 1 inch apart. Press down slightly so the cookies are about 1/2 inch thick.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes or until firm to the touch and lightly golden brown around the edges.
• Remove from oven and let cool on the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ICED APPLESAUCE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients. In a separate medium bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms (it will be wetter than you expect).
• Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill for 10 minutes.
• Make 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized balls (using a size 40 cookie scoop, if you have it) and place them onto the baking sheet. Scoop or use 2 spoons to make evenly spaced drops onto the paper - don't try to adjust or move them once they're on the sheet.
• Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly browned. Allow to cool to room temperature before enjoying. If desired, make a criss-cross icing drizzle with a fork using our 1 Minute Powdered Sugar Icing. Store at room temperature in a cookie tin for up to 5 days, or freeze (un-iced) for up to 3 months.

THE BEST HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the apples, sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the apples are very soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in the lemon juice and cinnamon. Let cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer the apple mixture to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth. Alternatively, puree in the pan with an immersion blender.
• Transfer the applesauce to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
