Sastojci

2 1/2 cups Almond Flour (note 1)

3 tablespoons Maple Syrup (note 2)

1 cup Grated Apples (note 3) about 1 large apple, unpeeled)

1 teaspoon Apple Extract (note 4)

1 teaspoon Cinnamon

1/3 cup Pecans (finely chopped (note 5)

Upute

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil the paper with coconut oil. Set aside.

Choose a flavorful apple like Braeburn or Granny Smith. Using a hand grater, on the largest setting, grate the apple until you get 1 cup of grated apple

Chop the pecans on a wooden board.

In a large mixing bowl, stir almond flour, maple syrup, grated apples, apple extract, and cinnamon.

Stir with a rubber spatula until the dough forms. It should be sticky but easy to roll into a ball - not runny or too wet. If too dry, add a bit of water to stick everything together. If too wet, add a bit more almond flour to form dough.

Fold in the chopped pecans, and gently stir to incorporate without breaking them.

Divide the dough into 8 balls. The dough is sticky, so you may want to oil your hands to roll the dough balls.

Place each dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving an inch between each, and press the top slightly if you want to flatten the cookies. If you like, press a raw almond in the center top of each cookie, and press lightly to imprint. These cookies do not spread very much as they bake, which means the shape you give them now is almost what you get after baking them.

Bake the cookies in the center rack of the oven for 16-18 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until golden brown on the edges.

Let them cool down for 15 minutes on the cookie sheet, then slide a spatula under each cookie and cool down on a wire rack for 1 hour.
