Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
All-Purpose Flour: A standard choice for cookie recipes; it creates a chewy texture that pairs well with apples.
Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the dough, balancing the spices and enhancing the apple flavor.
Brown Sugar: Adds moisture and depth with its rich caramel notes.
Cinnamon: The star spice here; use fresh ground for maximum flavor impact.
Baking Powder: Gives these cookies their lift, making them soft and fluffy inside.
Salt: Just a pinch enhances all the other flavors without being overpowering.
Applesauce: Replaces eggs in this vegan version, lending moisture and sweetness to the mix.
Vegan Butter or Coconut Oil: Provides richness; choose based on your personal preference for flavor.
Diced Apples: Freshly peeled and chopped apples add bursts of juicy flavor throughout each bite.
Oats (optional): For added texture, oats can give these cookies a heartier feel if you desire.
The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.
Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup later.
Mix Dry Ingredients Together: In a bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Take a moment to inhale those lovely scents!
Create Your Wet Mixture: In another bowl, combine applesauce and melted vegan butter or coconut oil until smooth. This mixture should be creamy but not too runny.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add your wet mixture to the dry ingredients while stirring gently. Be careful not to overmix; we want tender cookies here!
Add Apples**: Fold in diced apples carefully until they are evenly distributed throughout your dough. Try not to eat all of them first—they’re delicious!
Scoop and Bake**: Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart. Pop them into your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown around the edges.
Enjoy these delicious vegan apple pie cookies fresh from the oven! Serve warm or let cool on wire racks for later indulgence—if they last that long! Nutritious breakfast options.

Perfecting the Cooking Process
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix dry ingredients first, then incorporate wet ingredients, and finally fold in the apples. This order ensures everything blends beautifully without overmixing.
Add Your Touch
Feel free to swap out the apples for pears or add nuts for extra crunch. A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg can elevate the flavor profile even further, making each batch uniquely yours.
Storing & Reheating
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds for that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.
[info_box title=”Chef’s Helpful Tips”] Use room temperature ingredients to help your cookie dough mix evenly and rise perfectly. Avoid overbaking to keep your cookies soft and chewy. Try chilling the dough before baking for a thicker cookie with a delightful texture. [/info_box]
