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.Reply
