Ingredients

Caramelized Apples

2 apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
30 mL (2 tbsp) maple syrup
15 mL (1 tbsp) lime juice
2 mL (½ tsp) ground cinnamon

Cookies

180 mL (¾ cup) unbleached all-purpose flour*
60 mL (¼ cup) large rolled oats
5 mL (1 tsp) ground cinnamon
2 mL (½ tsp) ground nutmeg
2 mL (½ tsp) baking soda
2 mL (½ tsp) baking powder
1 pinch of salt
2 large eggs
80 mL (⅓ cup) unsweetened applesauce
60 mL (¼ cup) lightly packed brown sugar
5 mL (1 tsp) vanilla extract

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small non-stick skillet, heat the apples, maple syrup, lime juice, and cinnamon over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the applesauce, brown sugar, and vanilla.
Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until a smooth dough forms.
Using a spoon, divide the dough onto the prepared baking sheet to form about 6 cookies. Wet the back of the spoon, then gently press down in the centre of each cookie to create a small well. This cavity will hold the apples after baking.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.
Top each cookie with the caramelized apples right out of the oven. Let cool slightly before serving.
