The chopped apples are so subtle that you will question if they are even there, yet you notice a hint of something extra wonderful about the cookies. Of course, the more tart the apple, the more noticeable that flavor will stand out.
Here Is A List Of Some Of The Best Apples For Baking:
- Pink Lady
- Golden Delicious
- Honeycrisp
- Granny Smith
- McIntosh
- Braeburn
- Jonagold
As an option, consider vanilla-flavored chips. They blend in perfectly as an add-in to change things up occasionally. Baker’s Choice Chips are gluten-free and vegan but note that soy is an ingredient in these tasty chips.

To make a gluten-free apple oat and raisin cookie, substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free one-to-one blend. I used King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure For Measure Baking Blend.
- Salted butter ~ or a dairy-free substitute
- Brown sugar
- Granulated sugar ~ or for a cookie with less sugar Monkfruit Sweetener
- Egg ~ a flax-egg or aquafaba for egg-free cookies
- Vanilla extract
- All-purpose flour or a gluten-free one-to-one type blend such as King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure For Measure or Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour.
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Old Fashioned oats ~ certified gluten-free if needed
- Apple
- Raisins
- Unsweetened or sweetened flaked coconut
Enjoy!
