Instrucciones para la impresión en alta definición
- Precalienta el horno a 180 °C (350 °F). Cubre una bandeja para hornear con papel pergamino y engrásalo ligeramente con aceite. Reserva.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add applesauce, oil, vanilla extract, and sugar. Stir with a fork to combine.
- Fold in self-rising flour, cinnamon, and allspice. Use a rubber spatula to stir the ingredients together until they form a sticky cookie dough that looks like muffin batter.
- Fold in the finely chopped apple and stir to evenly combine.
- Scoop out dollops of dough on the prepared baking sheet to form 8 cookies (note 7), leaving one inch of space between the cookies. The cookies will expand in the oven, so give them space, or use 2 baking sheets.
- Tap the baking sheet twice on the countertop to spread the batter and flatten the cookies nicely.
- Bake the cookies for 20-24 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until nicely golden on the top.
- Let them cool down on the baking sheet at room temperature for 30 minutes. Do not remove them from the baking sheet to let them firm up.
- Cool them down for an extra hour on a cooling rack.

Ingredientes y sustituciones
Solo necesitas unos pocos ingredientes sencillos para preparar esta receta. Aquí te explicamos cómo elegirlos y sustituirlos.
- salsa de manzana – This provides moisture, natural sweetness, and helps bind the cookie dough without using eggs. You can use either store-bought or homemade unsweetened applesauce for this recipe.
- Aceite de oliva ligero – This adds moisture and a tender crumb to the cookies. Any other mild-flavored oil or melted plant-based butter would also work well.
- Extracto de vainilla – This brings a subtle sweetness and flavor to the cookies.
- Azúcar de caña sin refinar – This adds sweetness to the cookies. If you prefer them less sweet, you can reduce the amount to a third of a cup, but keep in mind that this will make for a softer cookie.
- Harina con levadura – This gives the cookies their structure and helps them rise. If you do not have this on hand, you can create a similar mix with all-purpose flour and baking powder. I do not recommend oat or almond flour for this recipe.
- Canela – This adds a warm spice flavor that complements the apple.
- Pimienta de Jamaica – This gives a warm, aromatic note that enhances the other flavors. You can also use ginger or nutmeg for a similar effect.
- Apple – The finely chopped apple adds little bites of juicy fruit throughout the cookies. It is important to use a firm apple variety like Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Fuji to ensure it holds its shape during baking.

Consejos de repostería de Carine
Permítanme compartirles algunos consejos más para lograr galletas perfectas.
- Firm Apples are Key – Use a firm apple variety like Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Fuji. This will ensure the apple pieces hold their shape in the oven and don’t turn to mush inside the cookies.
- More Fall Flavors – To make these cookies even cozier, stir in a quarter teaspoon of ginger or a pumpkin pie spice blend.
- Crunchy Add-In – For an extra layer of texture, you can fold in a quarter cup of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts.
- Dales espacio – The cookie dough will expand in the oven, so make sure you leave about an inch of space between each cookie on the baking sheet. If you don’t have enough room, use a second baking sheet.
- For the Best Texture – While I made six cookies for the pictures, I found that making eight cookies gives you the best texture. The cookies will be a little smaller, but they’ll be perfectly crunchy on top and soft in the middle.
- Plegado suave – When combining the wet and dry ingredients, use a rubber spatula and fold them together just until they are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.







Have you used whole wheat flour for this recipe?
Not yet, but usually you can use wholewheat instead of flour, using a little more liquid ingredients to balance the fibers in wholewheat, The result is always a bit more dense.
Can’t wait to try this recipe! I am always looking for no butter cookie recipes, and no egg is a bonus! I have one question. In the recipe, you call for 1 1/3 cups self rising flour, but in the notes, you mention 1 1/4 cups. I just want to make sure I get the amount of flour right.
Thanks for noticing my mistake in the note! I updated the note, the amount is 1 1/3 cup of self-rising flour.
