Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 120 g Oats gluten-free oats if needed
  • 120 g Flour wheat or spelt flour, or gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 tsp Baking powder or 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp Ground vanilla or 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 100 g Raw cane sugar or other sugar to taste
  • 120 g Vegan butter softened, or margarine or coconut oil
  • 100 g Apple cored and diced
  • 0.5 lemon Juice squeezed
  • 60 g Walnuts chopped

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Hand mixer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200 °C (400 °F) conventional heat or 180 °C (350 °F) fan-assisted. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Core the apple and cut it into small cubes. Drizzle with lemon juice and set aside.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the oats, flour, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Cream the softened vegan butter and sugar with a hand mixer until fluffy. Add this to the dry ingredients and knead briefly.
  5. Chop the walnuts. Add the walnuts and diced apples to the cookie dough and gently incorporate them.
  6. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a little more lemon juice or a splash of water or plant-based milk.
  7. Shape the dough into approximately 20 cookies. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space between them.
  8. Optionally, sprinkle with a little sugar. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool completely. They will be soft when they come out of the oven but will become crisp as they cool.
  10. Store the cookies in an airtight container or enjoy them immediately.
