Oatmeal cookies with apple without flour

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make oatmeal cookies with apple without flour? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take smaller oat flakes so that the cookies turn out to be more homogeneous and soft. For this purpose, instant flakes (extra) with a cooking time of 1 to 3 minutes are better suited. You can also take cereal in serving bags for quick brewing. You can make flour yourself by grinding the flakes with a coffee grinder.

2. Step 2:

   

   Combine soft butter with sugar, egg and beat with a mixer until fluffy. The mass should increase slightly in volume due to the egg. Buy high-quality, natural butter, without milk fat substitutes.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour cinnamon, vanilla sugar, nutmeg, baking powder and salt into the butter mixture. Whisk everything again.

4. Step 4:

   

   Sift the oat flour into the mass, pour in the oat flakes and mix everything until smooth. It is necessary to sift the flour. Firstly, there may be non-ground or poorly ground particles in it, and secondly, during sifting, the flour is saturated with oxygen and the cookies will turn out to be more airy.

5. Step 5:

   

   The result should be a sticky dense dough. Therefore, it is better to mix with a spatula or spoon. Leave the dough for 5 minutes to get the flakes soaked.

7. Step 6:

   

   Finely chop the walnuts or grind them into fine crumbs in a blender, depending on how you like it best. In the first case, the pieces of nuts will be clearly felt, in the second variant they will become indistinguishable from the general structure of the dough. I ground nuts in a coffee grinder.

8. Step 7:

   

   Wash the apples, remove the seeds. If desired, you can peel them off. Cut the pulp into small cubes. For cookies, it is better to use sour or sweet-sour apples, such as Semirenko or Granny Smith varieties, that is, apples with green skin. Sour apples will create a taste contrast with sweet dough and nuts, and the cookies will turn out especially tasty. But you can, of course, use any other apples to taste.

9. Step 8:

   

   Add chopped nuts and apples to the dough and mix.

10. Step 9:

    

    Roll small round balls about the size of a walnut out of the dough with wet hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet at a distance from each other. Put the oatmeal cookies in a preheated 180 ° C oven for 15-20 minutes until a golden crust appears on the surface.

11. Step 10:

    

    Remove the finished oatmeal cookies from the oven, transfer to a dish and serve to the table. Bon appetit!
