I fall guilty into the pumpkin trap in fall. I will make all of my recipes pumpkin related and forget about all of the other amazing fall produce like apples. These Vegan Apple Pie Cookies (gluten free, oat & almond flour) are my latest fall creation and they are so good.
These cookies are super easy to make, you just need one bowl and your oven. They are also made with healthier for you ingredients like oat and almond flour. Plus they are refined sugar free because they use coconut sugar.

vegan apple pie cookies
Ingredients
Wet
- 1 flax egg 1 tablespoon ground flax + 2 ½ tablespoon water
- ½ cup Artisana Organics almond butter can sub another nut or seed butter except for tahini
- ¼ cup maple syrup can sub honey
- ¼ cup coconut sugar can sub brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Dry
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoon oat flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 small apple - diced into small cubes
Instructions
- Make your flax egg by mixing together flax and water. Let sit refrigerated for 5-10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix together your wet ingredients including flax egg until smooth.
- Pour in dry ingredients except for apples. Mix again until smooth.
- Lastly fold in apples.
- Form 9-10 evenly sized cookies on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. The dough is very sticky, so work quickly and with wet hands.
- Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes until they are golden on the edges and cooked through.
- Cookies will come out a little lumpy so I reshaped mine into perfect circles with a cookie cutter, this step is optional. Let cookies cool for at least 10 minutes and dig in.
