Apple Cinnamon Cookie Clouds...





I've been ichin' to do some fall baking.

Since I can't find canned pumpkin right now on island, I figure apples are the next best thing. Besides that, I love baking with apples. The aroma that fills the house is wonderful.

Apples just scream homemade goodness. There's so much you can do with them.

Fritters, streusel, cobbler, pie, candy apples... take your pick.

I figured I would try and make scones with them, but after pulling these lovelies out of the oven, they resembled more of a poofy, airy cookie. Very similar to the pumpkin cookies I would like to share with you...... if only I could get my hands on some canned pumpkin!!!




Anyway, baking these cookies really helped me get over my canned pumpkin frustrations... somewhat.

So, as I anxiously await the days leading up to Thanksgiving and hound inquire about the import of canned pumpkin at my local grocery store, I want you to buy some apples and make these cookies.

I mean, not only do they act as an air freshener, they also taste great!


Apple Cinnamon Cookie Clouds

  • 2  Granny Smith Apples
  • 1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice, To Keep Apples From Browning
  • 3 Cups Bisquick
  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1-1/2 Teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Cup Half & Half
  • 1 Whole Egg
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Peel and chop the apples into small pieces. Place them in a small bowl and drizzle with the lemon juice; set aside. In a large bowl, mix the Bisquick, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together; set aside. In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk the egg into the half and half. Pour into the Bisquick mixture and whisk to combine. Finally, fold in the chopped apples. Using a medium sized ice cream scoop, drop dollops of the apple batter onto pre-sprayed cookie sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Makes 24-26 cookies. Store covered. 

Enjoy!
