Baked-Apple Cookies

Baked-Apple Cookies

approx. 250 g apples, unpeeled, finely diced; sprinkled with:
1-2 ts lemon juice
45 g vanilla sugar
1 pinch cinnamon, finely ground
100 g butter
1 egg
150 g flour
1 ts baking powder
1 pinch of salt

Heat half of the butter in a pan until foamy. Stir in the sugar and melt. Add apples. Fry until the liquid is slightly syrupy and caramelized. Season with cinnamon and let cool.

Whisk remaining butter until creamy. Add the egg and stir well. Add flour, baking powder, salt and apples. Mix to incorporate. Place teaspoons of batter onto a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper). Leave room around each cookie, they spread out while baking. Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
