Ingredients

Servings
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon homemade apple pie spice
  • ½ cup grated peeled apple lightly squeezed to remove excess moisture (about 1 large apple)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and apple pie spice. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until combined. Stir in grated apple.
  3. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks.

Notes

  • Adapted from Taste of Home
