I had a hard time finding apple cutters, so I just used a knife to cut out the shapes. They still turned out cute.

I'm not a huge fan of apples, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The apple flavor is subtle, and it pairs well with the sweetness of the cookie.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out a bit too much in the oven.
