Apple Hermits
This came to my inbox today, and since it's almost apple season here in the Northeastern US I thought I'd share it! The descriptions says, "This is a moist and cake like, spicy, nutty, apple cookie." I can't wait to try it! The recipe is from Aunt Mikie at Allrecipes.com, although I added my own touches. If you make it with the soy milk and unsalted margarine it's lactose-free!
