Here's another simple apple dessert. I found this one on the web. I needed to take cookies to a family gathering and wanted to try out another new recipe using apples. The taste was similar to the apples squares. But the nutmeg gives these a slightly different taste.
I found this recipe at pastrywiz.com. makes about 3 dozen
1/2 Cup butter, softened
2/3 Cup sugar
2/3 Cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 Cup apple juice
2 1/4 Cup flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 Tsp. baking soda
1/2 Tsp. nutmeg
1 Cup apples, peeled, finely chopped (about 2 apples)
1 Cup walnuts, chopped
FROSTING:
1/4 Cup butter, softened
3 Cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3-4 Tbs. apple juice
In a mixing bowl cream the butter and the sugars together. Beat in the egg and apple juice. Combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl and gradually add the dry ingredients to the sugar mix, blend well and then add the apples and walnuts.
Place on a greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake at 375 degrees for 13 minutes or until golden brown
Frosting:
Add the sugar, butter, vanilla and apple juice together and mix until smooth. Frost cooled cookies.
I hope you enjoy these as much as we did. They were gone pretty quick!
