💡 Tips & Tricks

  • The more floury the apple, the softer the filling. Boskop or Elstar apples are ideal.
  • If you like it sweeter, you can refine the apple mixture with a little cinnamon and sugar.
  • The cookies also work great as mini cookie pies – just leave a little more dough around the outside.
  • Stored in the refrigerator, they stay fresh for 2-3 days – perfect to take with you!
Can I bake the cookies gluten-free?

Yes, use a gluten-free flour of your choice (e.g. oat or rice flour blend) and pay attention to the binding – perhaps use a little more applesauce.
Can I use applesauce instead of apple puree?

Yes, applesauce works too. Just make sure it's unsweetened—otherwise, the cookies might be too sweet.
