  1. Very good flavor. My family loved these. Something different and they have requested these again. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  2. These cookies are delicious! I love peanut butter and apples so when I saw this recipe I had to try it. These are very soft and moist. Do not overbake! I was a litte skeptical about the cinnamon, but the taste is great. I really don't taste much of the apple and I did use an entire apple in my food processor which yielded almost a cup. My dough was nut crumbly at all and I really think you need the chunky pb as the nuts give it nice texture as well as taste. I got 3 dozen cookies out of this.
     
  3. These cookies taste great. But we can't taste the apple. I would add more apple maybe 1 cup. It would help also the dough that was crumbly. I used smooth peanut butter cause I didn't have chuncky. Thanks for posting this recipe :)

Tweaks

  1. I used glutenfree flour "bobs redmill" also used brown stevia sweetener along with white regular stevia I also squeezed out the juice from the shredded apple so it wouldn't be to wet then flattened the cookies in the oven so they would bake evenly

I like recipes that use ingredients that are already in my pantry. I won't bother with recipes that include ingredients that I have to hunt down.
