FRESH APPLE COOKIES/BARS

Fresh Apple Cookies/Bars image

I have had this recipe in my file for a number of years, I don't know the origin. My family loves the flavor but the cookies are hard to make and handle so I turned it into bars. The bars are much easier to make and handle. We most often omit the glaze because it can be too sweet; although powdered sugar sprinkled on the cooled bars would dress them up for guests.

Time 35m

Yield 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup softened butter
1 1/3 cups brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon clove
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 large egg
1/4 cup apple cider (you can use apple juice or milk)
1 cup finely chopped peeled apple (minced)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

Glaze: Blend with spoon until smooth.
Preheat oven to 375°.
Sift flour and baking soda together, set aside.
Cream butter and sugar with electric mixer.
Blend in salt, spices, and egg.
Add half the flour mixture and blend well.
Blend in half the apple cider.
Add the chopped apples to the remaining flour mixture and stir to coat.
Add this and the remaining apple cider to the creamed mixure and stir by hand.
For cookies: Drop by VERY small spoonful on cookie sheet and bake 8-9 minutes.
Remove from sheet while still warm (be very careful they are very hard to handle) and glaze while barely warm.
For bars: Spread in a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until they test done with toothpick.
Cut while barely warm.

Tips:

Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
Peel and core the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
Use a food processor or grater to shred the apples: This will make them easier to mix into the cookie dough.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Fresh apple cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your cookies turn out perfect every time. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give these apple cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
