Notes
- For gluten-free cookies use a gluten-free all purpose flour and make sure oats are certified gluten-free.
- Substitute a pre-made apple pie spice blend for convenience and the added hint of ginger and nutmeg.
- Use one large egg in place of the applesauce or substitute with a “flax egg” which is a mixture of flax seed and water.
- Granny Smith apples will also work in place of the red apples to give it a bit more of a tart flavor.
- Swap the real butter for vegan butter if preferred.
- Nutritional information includes brown sugar.
