Apple Pie Cookies

One of my favorite desserts of all time is apple pie. However, apple pie can be a very labor intensive dessert. Sometimes I just don't have the time or the patience. So what do I do? I make apple pie cookies, inspired by the recipe I found on the Post Punk Kitchen. Oh yeah, they're vegan too.

Apple Pie Cookies

• 1 cup flour
• 2 crushed up ice cream cones
  
• 1 apple, chopped into small pieces (granny smith works best)
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup soymilk
• 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 dash of salt

Preheat oven to 350. Melt apple sauce, soymilk, and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar is dissolved. Pour in a mixing bowl and add apple and ice cream cones. Slowly pour in flour as you mix nutmeg, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Shape into heaping cookies and bake for 15 minutes until nice a crunchy brown. Makes about 10 cookies.
