Applesauce Snickerdoodles Recipes

SNICKERDOODLE-CRUSTED APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C); position rack in the bottom third of oven.
• Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and cream of tartar in a large bowl. Drizzle in butter. Stir crust mixture until just combined and crumbly.
• Transfer 1 1/4 cups of crust mixture into a separate bowl; add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Knead with your fingertips until well combined but still crumbly. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze crumb topping until ready to use.
• Pour vinegar and water into the remaining crust mixture. Mix to form a dough; transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth. Press dough onto the bottom and sides of a pie plate using a flat-bottomed measuring cup to make the bottom crust. Crimp edges with a lightly floured fork. Freeze until ready to use.
• Toss apples, 1/2 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and sea salt together in a large bowl. Pile over the bottom crust and cover with the crumb topping.
• Bake on the bottom rack of the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (174 degrees C). Turn pie and continue baking, covering crust aluminum foil or a pie shield halfway through, until crust is golden brown, about 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before slicing, about 1 hour.

APPLESAUCE SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, shortening, honey, sugars and the eggs.
• In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cream of tartar. Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet ones. Cover and place in the freezer for about 45 minute This makes it easier to handle the dough later.
• In a shallow bowl mix the 2 tablespoons of sugar and the cinnamon. Now here comes the fun part. You are trying to make evenly sized balls and roll them in the sugar mixture. Since the dough is so soft, however, this can get messy. I suggest using two spoons together to grab balls of dough and roll them in the sugar. Once you get that going, place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes. It will take a few batches to get the cooking time down right. The cookies should be brown and soft, but not too brown (i.e. burnt). Remove from cookie sheet immediately and place on wire rack to cool.

VEGAN SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• Beat vegetable oil, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract together in a separate large bowl; add flour mixture and stir until combined.
• Divide dough into 14 portions and roll into balls. Spread cinnamon-sugar into a wide, shallow bowl. Roll dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar and arrange onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

APPLE BUTTER SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl until combined.
• Mix together butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Stir in egg and vanilla until incorporated. Add apple butter and mix until combined. Pour in 1/2 of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix just until no dry clumps of flour remain. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Mix together remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon in a shallow bowl or pie pan. Drop tablespoon-sized pieces of dough into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and roll into balls, coating well. Place 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are just set, about 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

APPLE SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350.
• 2. Combine butter, 2 cups sugar, the apple cider mix, vanilla, baking powder and salt with an electric mixer. Add eggs and mix well.
• 3. Add flour and mix until combined and you have a smooth dough.
• 4. Refrigerate the dough about 10 minutes.
• 5. While dough is chilling, mix the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• 6. Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, scoop out dough and roll into small balls. Roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Press lightly to flatten only a little. (The cookies will flatten and spread while baking.) I like to sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on the top before baking.
• 7. Bake 10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet while hot to avoid sticking. Cool on a wire rack.
