Spiced Applesauce Cookies

Welcome back to the midpoint of #AppleWeek 2019! The feel of fall is just barely in the air around here, mostly in the mornings you get that brisk feeling. And the leaves are starting to turn, so of course, I’m heading to the kitchen to make all sorts of apple dishes.

So far this week I’ve shared a sweet and a savory recipe. Now we’re heading to cookies! Fall baking and cookies are a great combination!

Spiced Applesauce Cookies are a great use of applesauce whether homemade or store-bought. I had a huge jar staring at me in my pantry and I figured why not put it to good use during #AppleWeek.

There’s nothing complicated about Spiced Applesauce Cookies, just some great fall flavors in a tender cookie. I added a quick cinnamon glaze which you can drizzle on or dip the cookies into. That’s optional, but it adds another level of fall flavor.

One of the ingredients in Spiced Applesauce Cookies is Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose Organic Flour. It is a pantry staple in my house. The quality is amazing and you know your baked good will taste delicious.
