These apple and egg cookies are perfect for a special afternoon snack, quick to make, and full of flavor. And the best part? You’ll only need an apple and an egg to get started. Let’s make them together.
Ingredients
- 1 large apple (peeled and diced)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup of wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- Preparation method
1. Prepare the apple:
- Peel the apple, remove the core, and cut it into cubes. If desired, sprinkle with a little cinnamon to enhance the flavor.
2. Mix the ingredients:
- In a bowl, beat the egg with the sugar until it forms a light and foamy mixture.
- Add the wheat flour and yeast, mixing well until a homogeneous dough forms.
- Add the apple cubes and mix gently until they are well incorporated into the dough.
3. Shape the cookies:
- Using a spoon, take portions of the dough and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or greased with margarine.
- Leave a little space between the cookies as they will rise slightly.
4. Bake until golden brown:
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
5. Finish with powdered sugar:
Once cool, sprinkle powdered sugar on top to add extra charm.
Tips
- Vary the flavors: Add a handful of raisins or pieces of walnuts to the dough to make the cookies even more special.
- Gluten-free: Replace wheat flour with oat flour or rice flour for a gluten-free version.
- Extra aroma: A few drops of vanilla essence can transform the flavor of the recipe.
