Apple Pie Cookies
These are soft and a little like cake but very yummy

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup oats (not quick oats)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup apple sauce
1 1/4 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
2 medium sized apples peeled and chopped
1/4 cup milk
1 cup raisins or pecans (optional)

Vanilla Glaze: In a small mixing bowl blend 1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar with 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 2 to 3 tablespoons of apple concentrate or juice (if you have apple cider concentrate around holiday time this is super yummy to sub in)

Preparation:

Bake at 375° for 10 to 14 minutes

Sift flour with baking powder, salt, cinnamon and allspice, add in oats. In a large mixing bowl cream butter, brown sugar and beat in the egg until well blended. Stir in half of flour and spice mixture, then stir in the apple and raisins or pecans if you choose to add them. Blend in milk, then remaining flour mixture.

Drop by rounded tablespoons, about 2 inches apart, onto non-stick baking sheets. While cookies are still warm spread thinly with Vanilla Glaze. Makes about 3 dozen apple pie cookies.
