How to make Gluten-Free Vegan Applesauce Cookies
Step 1
To make applesauce from scratch, peel, core, and dice 2 medium apples. Then, boil them in water for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Then, drain them well and blend them in a food processor into a smooth puree. Measure 50 g of sauce and save the leftovers for other recipes.
Step 3

Step 4
Blitz half of the oats into fine flour and add them to a bowl along with the remaining oat flakes. Mix in the baking powder, a pinch of salt, and finely chopped nuts. Then, incorporate the oat milk, maple syrup, applesauce, and cranberries.
Step 5
Work the ingredients into a compact and slightly sticky dough, then refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes to help it set. With greased hands, scoop a small handful of oatmeal dough and roll it into a ball. Then, flatten it down on a lined baking tray, pressing it down with your fingertips into a thin, round cookie.
Step 6
Bake the cookies at 180°C (355°F) static for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Once ready, let the cookies cool down completely and crisp up on a wire rack before serving.
