Slightly Sweet Saturday – Easy Apple Cranberry Cookies

8 Comments/ 4056/ 0

If you are like me you are loving all of the apple varieties that are around during this time of year.  In North Carolina I have found a lot of different kinds and am loving trying them all out.

I wanted to make a few cookies and came up with this recipe to capitalize on the abundance of apples during fall.  It makes a small recipe (18 cookies) but could be easily doubled to make more.  I love being able to use fresh apples in recipes and you can use any type that you have on hand.
